Summary
They caught COVID-19 in August and December 2022 and struggled with endurance afterwards. Last summer they went all out to regain pre-COVID activity and crashed, and say they have never recovered. By October 2024 exercise activity was gone and ordinary errands left burning leg pain for two weeks, though they still worked a high-stress job. They had tried eight SSRIs or SNRIs and long therapy without help.
