Summary
A Reddit user developed long COVID after a Christmas 2022 infection, testing positive into early 2023. About a year on they reported a bad cold every two weeks, a blocked right side, a burning throat, fast fatigue and trouble thinking straight, plus constant stress already medicated. They took extra vitamins after past deficiencies from a 2010 gastric bypass, were seeing an ENT, and found the iron taste was the worst part.
