Summary
Dusk 95569 developed long COVID after a COVID-19 infection around New Year 2022, with intense fatigue, headaches, muscle and joint pain, memory problems, a sore throat and high anxiety. After a good February they crashed at the end of the month. Five days of 10,000 IU vitamin D3 in April 2022 brought dramatic improvement; by August they said it gets better.
