Summary
After working out through a COVID infection, by September 2024 they could barely manage exercise on a good day, feeling 'so zapped after' and no longer able to jog. In May 2026 a swelling attack followed exercise and their first drinks in six months, and hydroxyzine did not relieve the swelling. They were later diagnosed with histamine intolerance and took regular antihistamines.

Took a bunch of hydroxizine after but it didn't help the swelling.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
