Which means so far my record for dealing with Long Covid symptoms so far is

1. Brain infection – caught a big chunk of damage with only and all of the parts of my brain I didn’t like, used the depersonalization to explore the concept of selfhood from outside and more precisely reshape the self in line with my life experience as it returned
2. Aerobic energy generation – rendered me barely conscious to the point of hardly breathing, I immediately reasoned it out and converted it to miraculous weight loss that is finally giving me a body to match my idealized self
3. Blood pressure drops – okay I passed out twice at the bar that actually trusted to serve me despite how the brain stuff made me unsteady and slurry, that kinda sucked, but it’d been a bit high before so okay?
4. this or maybe
5. I think was the testosterone, which was subtle enough I didn’t even notice at first, but on top of making me more sexually charismatic means my wounds heal faster and I gain more muscle from exercise – those are the effects steroids hack. Which is nice, because the #1 brain stuff switched me from being flatfooted to walking with raised arches, which apparently uses a completely different chain of muscles throughout the body I have to train up from scratch
6. Iron deficiency – the fatigue had gotten worse and even more creatine didn’t help, my limbs felt weighed down, and then 3 days in I was in the supermarket and was like “wait, you know what this reminds me of reading about? anemia” and got some iron pills and yeah, that was it
7. Used muscles fatigue more – this one’s receded some, I think it might have interfered with the breakdown of lactic acid, but as the muscles continue to build (with the help of testosterone, #5) even intense smashing just doesn’t push me to the limits and generate as much?

So basically as far as I’m concerned, I am the human that won this plague
