Summary
They caught COVID in 2021, were ill for about eight days and recovered well, with no fatigue or breathlessness; the only lasting problem was a loss and distortion of smell, still reduced a year later. In October 2022 a light flu left their nose stuffed and their smell returned, which they found odd.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, with time counted from when the illness began. Hover or tap a point. The chart starts 12 months after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. 1 step says too little to place on the scale and is only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
