Summary
Grove 93304 developed long COVID symptoms after their third COVID-19 infection in November 2022, with extreme fatigue that made work impossible; they were laid off in June 2023. A reinfection after Halloween 2023 brought extreme fatigue, brain fog, memory loss and body aches and had not settled by January 2024, when they could barely do the dishes without resting. Their doctor prescribed Paxlovid, which they had not yet collected.
