Summary
Maple 35742 developed long COVID, with a very rough first year that they called the absolute worst, and they had reinfections. After about 11 to 12 months they began to feel a lot more normal, and by around two and a half years were doing a lot better. They still had symptoms but reported huge progress; they advised resting when their body told them to and taking it day by day. The first two vaccine doses did not help after infection, and they did not know if the booster had an effect because they caught COVID right after.

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.
