Summary
They caught COVID-19 in March 2020 and about a month later noticed lower energy that persisted almost two years. They briefly lost taste and smell, developed IBS and sensitivities to gluten and dairy, and had a covid toe. A FODMAP diet helped the IBS, but by March 2022 they were still getting by with reduced energy and said life was definitely different.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, with time counted from when the illness began. Hover or tap a point. The chart starts 1 month after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. 1 step says too little to place on the scale and is only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
