Summary
Long-haul symptoms after a single Pfizer jab in 2021, without ever catching COVID; still ill 16 months later with palpitations, a manual-breathing feeling, arm pain and anxiety. A first improvement came around month 10 and a second around month 16, leaving them much better than the first year though not recovered and still fighting symptoms daily. Plasma donations helped the heart symptoms; prednisolone did nothing.
