Summary
After a first COVID infection they had long COVID with a diaphragm problem and PEM. By about seven months the diaphragm symptom had noticeably lessened while they did breathing exercises, meditation, tai chi and weekly light physical therapy once PEM had stopped. A second COVID infection two weeks before the post brought the diaphragm problem back. Function was not described.

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.
