Summary
Crest 74068 has lived with long COVID since 2022. They could not manage strenuous exercise, so they began short walks and occupational therapy with low-impact exercises, putty for finger strength and TENS and menthol massage for muscle pain. A COVID reinfection seven months later did not return them to their worst. They also took vitamin D and magnesium glycinate on a cousin's advice.
