Summary
The Reddit user, posting in an ME/CFS forum, got through a second bout of COVID without Paxlovid by resting heavily. The infection took a long time to clear and a few months to feel steady again, but their baseline held and they reported no permanent slide backwards. They advised another user not to let fear compound fatigue.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
