Summary
The Reddit user reported living with long COVID from at least December 2022, with brain fog and lightheadedness that worsened for a day or two after drinking alcohol, though alcohol made them feel completely normal while drinking. For about eight months in 2023 they did not feel human, and ibuprofen was the only thing that helped. By February 2024 they said they were doing a little better, with no treatment credited for that.
