In their words
- Condition: Long COVID
I've been sick since December 2021 and thought I'd never recover.
In context ↗ - Now: Somewhat better
But I’m getting better, day by day. I thought I’d never get better *at all* so I’ll take what I can get.

Summary
Fjord 73505 fell ill in December 2021 and said they thought they would never recover at all. By September 2023 they reported getting better day by day, and felt a more positive mindset might give their brain and immune system a boost, though they did not think positive thinking cured them. They had taken a medication years earlier for unrelated physical pain; it helped, but was hard to stop and they were sick for months while tapering.
