Summary
A 37-year-old developed long COVID after a positive Omicron infection in February 2022. Four months on, other symptoms had subsided but near-constant exhaustion and fatigue remained, and they needed a daily nap while working 40 to 50 hours a week. Mentally demanding work left them struggling to make simple decisions. They described this as their new normal.
