Summary

A 26-year-old man developed long COVID after a mild COVID-19 infection in November 2020, with fatigue on daily chores, brain fog and distorted smell and taste. Symptoms lasted about six months and then improved; by August 2021 his energy was back to normal, though cognition and smell/taste were better but not fully back. He asked others about supplements for post-COVID symptoms.
