How long ago was she sick? For me it's gotten better. I got sick in August 2021, the major effects (fatigue and brain fog) were most pronounced between September and February, and I've been steadily improving since. I think I'm somewhere around 80% pre-Covid capacity most days.

Woa this is a great thing to hear actually. She got sick January 2022 so a bit over 2 years now. Our current fear is that this is the kind of thing where either you recover within ~2 years or it’s forever. Appreciate your story and will share with her. Her other symptoms, particularly the fatigue, do seem to improve (though the weather and being about to be outside impacts it a lot, so she had a huge setback 2 winters in a row now), though very slowly. I like hearing that for you the brain thing has improved over time too, thanks!

  Happy my story can help. It's been a long ride, coming up on three years. Because of the symptoms I was prompted to invest in self improvement as well. I am much more diligent about regularly exercising, eating better, minding my mental health* and minding my sleep; and there are still bad days where I can't concentrate at all. But things are getting better overall. * Every day I don't read or watch the news I'm happier.

      Have you tried autoimmune protocol diet? Anecdotally, but it may help.

  Weather impact on mood and energy is unbelievable, at least in myself. Also, if that can help, contrary to my previous beliefs, light therapy is no bullshit. I thought it was another pseudo science but studies are in fact proving that it’s incredibly effective (but it’s pretty inconvenient to incorporate in your habits).

    what sort of light therapy have you found beneficial? Like blue light in the eyes or red light on the skin?

  I am in 3 years post-covid. Definitely saw some lows but have been recovering steadily. Definitely look into Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment for this, for me it helped fight the plateau.
