Summary
A person who got COVID in 2020 said it ruined their quality of life, leaving constant numbness in the legs and arms, difficulty breathing and persistent brain fog. A blood test showed low B12; after a few months of B12 supplements the numbness cleared and breathing improved, and adding liver once a week almost entirely resolved the remaining breathlessness. Their sense of smell had mostly returned.
