Summary
Meadow 22507 developed long COVID in January 2023 after a second COVID infection in December 2022. From mid-December 2023 vitamin D and B50 complex, plus other supplements and magnesium, helped a lot, and she felt mostly cured by March 2024. A third COVID infection in April 2024 brought symptoms back; after re-adding magnesium her long COVID went away again by July 2024. By 2026 cetirizine was still the only thing that consistently helped.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, with time counted from when the illness began. Hover or tap a point. The chart starts 14 months after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. 2 steps say too little to place on the scale and are only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
