8. I got the GI version.

It took a little over a year to get my GI system back to normal. Mine included pancreatitis, dysbiosis, some unidentified GI crud, plus some immune deficiencies (which seem to be missing from your categories of long COVID).

The trick to resolving the first and third seem to just be time. Kombucha made a dramatic difference in the gut dysbiosis - but only for a couple of days, initially. Initially, I needed to drink a bottle of kombucha every 3 days. It took most of a year before I could stretch the time between "treatments" out. I'm not sure of the status of immune deficiencies - it's not something they test for routinely. I did manage to go without masking for the spring theatrical performance (about 2 years after COVID) without coming down with some sort of respiratory condition. So maybe that is back to normal, as well. (I'm still masking indoors aside from occasionally eating out, and when I'm on stage)
