Summary
A Reddit user with long COVID reported brain fog, breathlessness, sleep problems and mild histamine sensitivity, and said they had bad reactions to every COVID vaccine and that repeated infections interrupted their gains. They followed Dr Leo Galland's supplement guide and reported good results, with better focus and function by January 2025, though supplements were not cheap.

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. 4 steps say too little to place on the scale and are only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
