A post-viral syndrome / Long COVID picture has been my reality since late September 2024, following an acute illness with fever and an opening stretch of 2–3 weeks. Full recovery never came. What stayed: headaches, a stiff and painful neck and jaw, sore throat, fatigue, and crashes that hit harder after physical or social exertion. Most days are spent at home resting, with only light movement like short walks staying within reach. MOTS-c, SS-31, NAD+, and TA1 are the options I'm now looking into.
