Summary
After COVID in September 2023 the user was fatigued for weeks but back to feeling fine by the end of October. A flight to Florida in November left fluid in an ear; two rounds of steroids and one round of antibiotics cleared the fluid, but fatigue, DP/DR, dizziness and trouble thinking lingered for nearly two months. They now have to sit down far more often and wonder whether this is long COVID.
