Summary
Heron 84813 had long COVID with brain fog that lasted about eight or nine months, with six months of paid sick leave and a phased return to work starting at one day a week. By June 2023 they said they were fully back to normal. In March 2025 a chest infection they could not shake left them struggling on a second lot of antibiotics, and they wondered whether lung damage had gone unseen.
