Summary

Dave from Derby, England, shares his journey with long Covid, which began with an initial infection two years ago. After a partial recovery, a subsequent holiday relapse introduced new, more severe symptoms. Using data from wearables like heart rate monitors, Dave has been able to manage his condition more effectively, helping to anticipate and prevent symptom flares. While he deals with symptoms of fatigue, brain fog, and skin issues, he has learned to navigate his limitations better by understanding his physiological data.
