Summary
A Reddit user who developed long COVID from the original strain in 2020 described almost five years of severe illness, at worst unable to walk, with suicidal thoughts and pain. They said every symptom had been temporary and that a brain MRI showed no lesions while bloods and organs were fine despite multiple reinfections. They advised daily vitamin D and a daily vagus nerve exercise, warning it takes time at their severity.
