In their words
- Condition: Long COVID
I would not share my recovery again on any public forum because it feels disingenuous
In context ↗ - At worst: Moderate
My case is still "moderate"
In context ↗ - Now: Somewhat better
If I limit my life to 100% healthy foods, moderate exercise and ignoring all major stress triggers, I can pass as "Recovered" ... That is not recovery, that is symptom management.

Summary
A Reddit user in a long-COVID community said their case was still "moderate" compared with other testimonies. They had left the forum and come back, but would not share their recovery again on any public forum, feeling it disingenuous. They could pass as "Recovered" only by keeping to 100% healthy foods, moderate exercise and avoiding major stress; otherwise PEM returned. That, they said, was symptom management, not recovery.
