Summary
A 21-year-old man about 18 months into long COVID reported feeling much better physically, able to take long walks and meet friends. He said a delta-plus reinfection was followed by improvement, and neuroplasticity work brought him to roughly 75% better by early 2022; he also recommended meditation, sunlight, diet and the Gupta program. He still had neurological issues and worsening sleep, and overexertion caused body aches and insomnia.

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 15 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.
