Summary
A Reddit user with long COVID reported persistent nausea, bad enough that they ate only one evening meal a day, along with joint and muscle pain and some memory trouble. In summer 2022 a couple of hours daily in the neighborhood pool eased their joint pain and was their only exercise. A walk of almost a mile in November 2023 caused a heavy crash with pain, sleeplessness and returning nausea, and they expected days to recover.
