Summary
Tern 10065 developed long COVID after an infection in March 2020, with shortness of breath as the main symptom along with chest pain, fatigue and arm pain. Breathing slowly improved to about 70-80% of normal; arm pain resolved by mid-2021 and fatigue by October 2021. A pulmonologist diagnosed asthma; inhalers seemed to help but later did little, and breathlessness persisted into late 2021, with swallowing still difficult in January 2022.

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 11 months after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. 1 step says too little to place on the scale and is only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
