Summary
A Reddit user with long COVID reported 15 months in that they had recovered from almost all symptoms, but dry eye was pushing them into a depressive state. Vertigo faded around months 4-6, and another symptom faded around months 9-11, which they credited to fasting and an anti-inflammatory diet. Derealisation and some anxiety persisted.
