Summary
After a first COVID vaccine shot they developed migraines and tension headaches with neck spasms. By November 2021 they said they had recovered, though their heart raced more than normal and they were unsure whether it was vaccine related, anxiety or PTSD. Physical therapy, including pulling the head from the neck, helped, and they said it worked wonders.

the PT does this thing where he pulls my head from my neck, bc apparently spasms happen at the base of the skull, and that has worked wonders

How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, in the order they describe; they don’t give enough times to place each step. Hover or tap a point. 1 step says too little to place on the scale and is only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
