Summary
A 31-year-old woman with long COVID felt drugged and ungrounded, had anxiety and exercise intolerance that worsened after an hour's walk, and had an EEG that came back normal. She chose to wait rather than try medicine, and said time helped overall. By March 2023 she rated herself 90% recovered, a million times better, though odd eye symptoms remained.
