In their words
- Condition: Long COVID
It's been 9 months since I had covid and every time I've tried working out since I would get really bad symptoms the day after.
In context ↗ - At worst: Mild
every time I've tried working out since I would get really bad symptoms the day after
In context ↗ - Now: No benefit
I've been able to have a few work out sessions since without the symptoms, but sooner or later they'll hit again and I'd take another extended break from working out (1 month+)
In context ↗ - Began after: COVID

Summary
Nine months after a COVID-19 infection, attempts to work out often brought a flare the following day: pounding head, sore throat, throbbing eyes and feeling super sick, though there was no fever. Flares lasted a day or up to a week, and when symptoms returned, another month or more off exercise followed. Some workouts later passed without symptoms, but the flares kept returning.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, in the order they describe; they don’t give enough times to place each step. Hover or tap a point. 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.
