Summary
Spruce 64073, who never had COVID-19, developed long-COVID-like symptoms four days after a second Pfizer vaccine in April 2021: blaring 24/7 tinnitus, fatigue, an activated fight-or-flight response and a ten-week PCOS bleed. Over about four months nearly everything resolved; only a low hiss of tinnitus remained, still constant, by August 2021. Pre-existing POTS and chronic pain predated the vaccine.

The chart starts 4 months 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.
