Summary
A Mexican man of about 30 fell ill on 29 December 2021 with palpitations, breathlessness, fatigue, brain fog and anxiety; his only confirmed COVID had been a mild two-week illness in November 2020. Vitamins did nothing and magnesium helped only sometimes; he credited time, fasting and faith. He improved slowly, reaching about 99% better by April 2024, had heart pain return briefly when he started working out, and in July 2026 said he felt 100% better.

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 chart starts 8 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.
