In their words
- Condition: Long COVID
I was in rough shape for about 7 months but slowly started to get better for the last 2 months.
In context ↗ - Now: Somewhat better
Overall I am happy that I am not where I was at 6 months ago, and it seems like we are in a similar spot.
In context ↗ - Began after: COVID
I was just reinfected last month for the first time and after I got over the initial two weeks I am back to where I was before reinfection
Summary
A long-COVID patient described being in rough shape for about seven months before slowly improving over two months in mid-2023, when they could play basketball and have a few beers at weekends. New symptoms and a partial return of old ones then set them back, though not as badly. After a first COVID reinfection in January 2024 they were back to their previous state within about two weeks.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, in the order they describe; they don’t give enough times to place each step. Hover or tap a point. 2 steps say too little to place on the scale and are only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
