Summary

Caught COVID in March 2020 and was left with long COVID; four years on they are still limited, some days unable to get out of bed or cook. A two-week improvement in 2022 ended when they caught COVID a second time. In 2024 they had energy intermittently and credited tributyrin X and brain retraining with some relief, while eye symptoms persisted and repeat infections kept them down.
