Summary
A person with long COVID of 10 months started an oxygen concentrator a few months in, and said it helped their energy, fatigue and brain fog. Running it too long with an empty hydrator irritated their airways, and a break brought much of the fatigue back. Going back on it restored their energy immediately. A single hyperbaric oxygen session hurt their ears too much.
