Summary
George had long COVID. At its worst he struggled to walk 500 meters, having been in the gym five days a week before. He learned pacing, used the Gupta Program for limbic retraining, and said meditation had the biggest impact. A year into the work he was back training in the gym several times a week and felt mostly back to where he was before COVID.

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; the account doesn’t give enough times to place each step. Hover a point to see what happened and what they link it to. Open dots mark a change they link to a treatment, orange ones a setback. 1 step says too little to place on the scale and is only in the table. What the levels mean.
