Summary
Developed long COVID in about March 2022, with shortness of breath as the main symptom and daily brain fog lasting most of the day. Ginkgo helped the brain fog for a few days before it returned. By month eight the illness was improving very slowly; by January 2024, almost two years in, breathlessness had improved only marginally and still limited daily activities.
