Summary
Coast 71464 developed long COVID after a mild breakthrough infection despite vaccination. Their main symptom was exercise intolerance, with muscle pain, easy fatigue and breathlessness eased by a steroidal inhaler. They could get out of bed and do things around the house but could not work or exercise. They were trying a carnivore diet, probiotics, meditation, talk therapy and time outdoors, hoping inflammation would fade over months to a year.
