Summary
A person with long COVID was housebound and found the summer months especially hard to accept; distraction and a monthly therapist helped them cope somewhat. By February 2025 they were also having frequent UTIs, often E. coli, and had been on and off antibiotics repeatedly, which they called a nuisance but easily treatable.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, in the order they describe; they don’t give enough times to place each step. Hover or tap a point. 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.
