or am I into Long COVID territory?
In context ↗ - At worst: Mild
I believe that exercise has been a trigger of some of my downturns and naps have really helped me recharge.
In context ↗ - Now: No benefit
yo-yo from there to now (feeling great for many hours then awful again)

Summary
A 47-year-old man who exercised five to six times a week tested positive for COVID in late May 2022. Symptoms came and went over the first ten days; he felt almost 100% on day 11, then awful on days 12 and 13 with muscle weakness, head pressure, brain fog and gut symptoms. He kept swinging between feeling great for hours and awful again, suspected exercise triggered downturns, and found naps helped. He did not know whether this was still the infection or long COVID.

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.
