Summary
A lifelong asthmatic with long COVID symptoms, they said they thought their lungs were damaged and that their inhaler and nebulizer did nothing to help. Getting COVID pushed them back into regular deep breathing exercises for lung capacity, alongside Breath Easy herbal tea and an inhaler on worse days. They said a boring book paired with melatonin helped. They did not report an overall recovery.
