Summary
Got COVID for the first time in December 2022 and developed long COVID. By June 2023, as the weather warmed, they reported more frequent light-headedness, shortness of breath, feeling run down, poor taste and smell and constant phantom smells of dog poop or cigarettes. They also had intense seasonal allergies and took a daily allergy pill and Avamys nasal spray in advance, which they hoped was preventing severe attacks.

Their path
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.
