Summary
Creek 37083 got pericarditis from a Pfizer booster in January 2022, then months of misery and panic attacks, then COVID three months later with almost every symptom, followed by months of long COVID. Ivermectin shortened the long haul and mild hyperbaric oxygen helped their brain; long COVID faded with time but the vaccine-injury chest pain persisted a year. Prednisone caused neurological symptoms and rebound brain fog; an SSRI got them sleeping again.
