Summary

They pushed and got long COVID. Basic 20-minute physiotherapy sessions left them 'a zombie', and the reaction varied without any pattern; they took an antihistamine afterwards. Mobility training over video sessions was ongoing, and skipping one session reset them to zero. No improvement or recovery was reported.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
