Summary
They had POTS and MCAS before catching COVID in May 2022, then a blistering, burning rash spread from the face across the body; it was diagnosed as shingles and treated with antivirals, steroids and allergy medication. A steroid shot helped only a smidge, and they said Paxlovid helped a ton. Little is said about how much the illness limited them.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
