Summary
She developed long COVID in October 2023, was ill for five months and said she has not been the same since. Her period began three days after the infection and did not stop; a coil did not help, but four weeks of oral progesterone gradually stopped the bleeding. Since the coil she has had monthly flu-like symptoms, nausea, diarrhoea and dizziness, and her smell never fully returned. She takes supplements but the monthly symptoms continue.
