A Highly Sensitive Person's Approach to Long Covid Recovery (Troy's Story)
Troy developed long Covid after a severe acute infection, initially pushing through without pacing and dropping to around 30% function, with symptoms that included shortness of breath, neurological issues, loss of speech, and serious digestive problems. Through extensive self-research, brain training, fasting, and a nicotine patch protocol, he improved to 'probably about 90%' after more than a year, though he honestly notes he is not fully back to health. His story shows gradual, layered improvement rather than an overnight cure, which may be reassuring for anyone facing a slow recovery.
