Summary
A r/LongCovid user described nine months of long COVID with exhaustion and low mood, so disabling that being able to get out of bed was nice. After diets, supplements and thousands of dollars of doctors and tests, they credit taking pine turpentine over four days for clearing it. They said they were fully back to normal over a month later, though they had lost a lot of muscle.
