Summary
They reported being ill with long COVID and said at exactly five months that they were 'about 70-80% recovered.' They credited large doses of niacinamide, high-dose hydroxy B12 and folic acid, some chosen from genetic testing, said P5P (active B6) calmed severe anxiety and panic, and said niacinamide 'helped me a lot.' They described severe depression and anxiety, and later recommended a Muse headband for ME/CFS and said they use the Curable program.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, with time counted from when the illness began. Hover or tap a point. The chart starts 5 months after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. 1 step says too little to place on the scale and is only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
