Summary
The Reddit user, posting in a long COVID forum, described debilitating muscle cramps and muscle aches. Taking potassium every night cut the cramps by about 90%. In early October 2023 they woke one morning feeling good and improved to roughly 99% better over about four days, with minor fatigue and muscle aches remaining. They did not say how long they had been ill.
