Summary
A Reddit user in long-COVID and ME/CFS forums said much of what they had been dealing with came from trauma, and regretted taking supplements, feeling they now had constant inflammation. They called themselves super healthy before, when an occasional Advil was the only synthetic substance they took. In August 2025 sipping an electrolyte drink through the day was 'weirdly helpful', though they were unsure if it was placebo.

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.
