Summary
Infected with COVID-19 in February 2020, this user developed long Covid and made a full recovery by June using a gut-healing approach. Seven weeks of travel with heavy drinking and spicy food brought the illness back, and two further COVID infections left palpitations, panic, tachycardia, fatigue and malaise at a low-to-medium level. Six months of a strict gut-healing regimen brought them to 90-95% recovered.

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 4 months after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. 1 step has no time and sits in story order between the steps around it. 2 steps say too little to place on the scale and are only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
