Summary
A person with long COVID described a mainly neurological symptom and cytomegalovirus reinfection. From February 2023 they followed Medical Medium inflammation and morning-cleanse protocols with a low-fat plant-based diet, plus supplements and herbal tinctures to lower viral load. By June they felt they were getting better despite a few major setbacks, and by August said some symptoms were much better. They did not describe activity level or full recovery.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
