In their words
- Condition: Long COVID
I got hit twice but neither version “tested” positive.
In context ↗ - At worst: Moderate
I couldn’t even muster the energy to take the dog for a walk ... I felt like I was working with an outdated cell phone battery, nothing recharged me.
In context ↗ - Now: Somewhat better
started a nootropic protocol that has helped me actually feel alive for the first time in 3 years ... Still can’t exercise without needing 4 days to recuperate if I went a little too hard but it’s a start.

Summary
After two illnesses that didn't test positive they went from very active to sedentary, with severe lethargy, depression, pain, hot flushes and insomnia; the worst lasted about 18 months and bloodwork was normal. Three years in, a naturopathic nutritionist's testing led to a nootropic protocol, after which they woke feeling rested and alive again. They still needed four days to recover from over-exertion and awaited cardiology for chest pain.
