Members shared their experiences with long COVID symptoms, with timelines ranging from three months to over two years, and many describing worsening rather than improving health that leaves them feeling fundamentally changed from who they were before infection. Several members described ongoing complications including heart regulation issues, breathing difficulties, chronic fatigue, gastrointestinal problems, and even strokes, with a recurring frustration that doctors often do not take their worsening symptoms seriously.
