Summary
Caught COVID in July 2022 and again in August 2022, and was still dealing with long COVID months later. By February 2023 they could walk for about an hour and manage slow walks, but a few incline push-ups or anything that put pressure on their head left them crashed. They described crashes that felt like coming down with another infection, and they were on citalopram, which they said really helped their anxiety.

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.
