Summary
A Reddit user reported having long COVID for 15 months, with symptoms gone as long as they avoided alcohol. They said they could now enjoy two beers without much consequence if they exercised beforehand, describing 30–40 minutes on an elliptical at heart rate 130–140 plus some weights. They reported no specific remaining symptoms beyond needing to avoid alcohol.
