Summary
A patient who fell ill with long COVID around March 2021 had months of persistent low-grade fever, chills, a permanently swollen throat, chest heaviness and marked loss of focus. An ayurvedic medicine, Suvarna Soot Vati, stopped the chills but they returned whenever the dose was reduced. A first vaccine dose stopped the fever; it returned after another viral infection, and by April 2023 they were back to normal after a booster.

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 first step with a time is 6 months after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. The dashed part: the story doesn’t say when. 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.
