Summary
A Reddit user who got COVID in December 2021 described Long COVID that had been very up and down for three years and nine months. For about a year before September 2025 they felt roughly 80% recovered and pretty okay, while working an active job and doing Pilates. Lately their left leg muscle weakness had gotten a lot worse during flare-ups.

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 2.8 years 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.
