Summary
They had long COVID and took anti-inflammatory medication that helped, though new issues kept appearing, and overall they were steadily improving. They wanted a tattoo but worried inflammation would worsen symptoms. They sought an integrative doctor in NJ to make sense of results and reduce supplements and LDN; LDN helped a lot but left them tired the next day, so they had to be careful. They later found and praised a recommended doctor, Osgood, after searching for a year.

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. 1 step says too little to place on the scale and is only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
