Summary
Lagoon 42712 got COVID in mid-June and about two weeks later had shortness of breath at rest, worst at night; a doctor dismissed it as possibly mental. A second COVID infection in November brought severe breathlessness, whole-body pain, restlessness and anxiety. They began exercising, and the breathlessness improved over time, though it and occasional severe night-time anxiety still recurred by their January 2023 post.
