Summary
Eagle 57889 developed long COVID with shortness of breath lasting two years, which they say was caused by GI problems. After about a year on H2 blockers they reported being 90% back to their pre-COVID level. They had quit vaping for two years with only minimal improvement, and nicotine gum or pouches gave no benefit to their long-COVID symptoms. They still reported symptoms at the latest post.

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 2 years 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.
