Summary
A user in a long COVID forum described mostly brain fog and random muscle twitching, and said they got better after about 12 months. They tried supplements but took nothing regularly except omega-3, and put the improvement down to time and spending more time in nature. The posts do not say how limited they were at their worst or what limits remain.

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.
