Summary
Spruce 60087 had had long COVID for about five to six years and felt they had improved only around 20% since symptoms began, with mostly stagnation over the previous 15 months. In late March 2026 they reported feeling like they were spiraling backwards again over the past couple of weeks. A treatment they tried had helped a little but made their heart beat faster and left a nasty kickback when it wore off.

I tried and it helps a little bit, but not enough. And it does make my heart beat faster and it has a nasty kickback once it wears off.

Their path
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.
