Summary

A 31-year-old Reddit user in r/LongCovid described long COVID leaving them mentally and physically exhausted 24/7, with full-time headaches that paracetamol did not touch, brain fog and poor memory, feeling at least double their age. They said they no longer saw their parents, who told them to go back to work. A glass of red wine after 16:00 cleared the headaches and helped them sleep. Their latest post in March 2024 said they felt the worst they had ever felt.
