Summary
They described their long COVID symptoms: their reading comprehension, memory, spelling and mathematics skills decreased. Their memory had improved slightly by late 2024, and they found word searches, reading more and journalling helped long term, while a speech therapist only told them to talk more.

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 first step with a time is 4.6 years after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. The dashed part: the story doesn’t say when. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
