Summary
A Reddit user who got COVID-19 in July 2020 long hauled with migraines, nausea, neck and spine pain and nerve/joint pain; flares lasting 3-5 days several times a month left them unable to work or care for their child. Symptoms began easing in late November 2020, and after a second Moderna dose in March 2021 they reported no migraines, nausea or neck pain and better sleep, hoping it would continue.
