Summary
Gull 94255 caught COVID-19 in September 2022 and two weeks later, after hours of errands and cooking, had an episode of shaking, muscle weakness, blurred vision and light sensitivity that juice and rest eased; shaky spells then came on quickly. Blood tests were normal. By March 2024 the episodes had improved, though they were still more sensitive to low blood sugar, kept snacks on hand, and symptoms barely interfered with daily life.
