Summary
A person with long COVID said that about nine months in they were still not 100%, with a hoarse voice and fatigue. For five months they could not manage their usual mile-long dog walk. They credited movement as the only thing that helped, guessing it gave a hormonal boost, and said sleep helped too. They called it a new normal.
