Summary
Got COVID in July 2021 and developed long COVID with around 30 symptoms: severe chest and jaw pain, throat tightness, breathlessness, palpitations, acid reflux and derealisation. She credits time, prayer, meditation and healthy eating. Improvement was gradual with flares after travel/stress; at about 18 months she reported a normal life and working out, though later said it took 2.5 years to be consistent, and by 2024 she was much better with only occasional heart palpitations and stomach issues.

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 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.
