Summary
A month after a positive COVID-19 test in January 2021, this Reddit user reported fatigue, returning cough and chest pains, breathlessness, sleep and stomach trouble, and low mood. Most of their lost smell and taste had returned and their lingering symptoms seemed to be easing until the week before their period, when they felt miserable, tearful and unmotivated. They described the initial infection as very mild.
