Summary
A Reddit user whose long covid episode began about two years before February 2025 caught covid again in January 2025 and felt fine for a couple of weeks before a new episode brought perpetual exhaustion and lost libido about three weeks before the post. They had to keep up their usual output at work, and the woman they were dating thought they were less willing to make the 30-minute drive; their boss and the woman they were dating doubted long covid. No treatment or improvement was reported.

How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, with time counted from when the illness began. Hover or tap a point. The chart starts 23 months after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. 2 steps say too little to place on the scale and are only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
