Not a journey: chronic illness is "a place, and often a dark and lonely one";
Long COVID is a cage, a prison; derailment into a ditch on the side of the road.
It forces you to watch, helplessly, hopelessly alone, as life passes by.

Bottom line: Beware the Brain Retraining grift.
Thankfully, actual science is progressing: I'd been hoping for an update on microfluidic capture (the 'herringbone chip') for diagnosing Long COVID & enabling us to measure treatment efficacy. Here it is.
If it pans out? Game on.
