Summary
Cedar 98675 caught COVID in July 2021 despite two Moderna doses and, after a 12-day acute illness, developed a mild long haul lasting two to three months, with exercise-triggered relapses, sinus pressure, night sweats and a cough. A December 2021 booster brought a second mild episode with three weeks of vertigo, which cleared with meclizine and Claritin. They recovered fully with time, though by spring 2022 they still avoided bars and the gym over reinfection fears.

Their words about each treatment
- weight lifting / intense exercise · Worse
Working out and lifting gets me tired the next day (i think this is called PEM) so i just stopped that completely.
In context ↗ - meclizine · Helped
I took an OTC drug called meclizine at night and claritin in the morning. That symptom went away.
In context ↗ - melatonin · Not said
Now i sometimes take melatonin but i’ve been sleeping well recently without any drugs or anti-histamines.
In context ↗ - time · Helped a lot
Im not long hauling from covid anymore. I recovered with time.
In context ↗ - COVID vaccination as treatment · Worse
Got it last week. Now my old LH is flaring up except this time i also get some dizzy spells.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, with time counted from when the illness began. Hover or tap a point. The chart starts 1 month after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. 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.
