Summary
They had a second bout of Covid in December, then in mid May a virus that felt like Covid but tested negative, and three weeks later had not fully recovered. They described ringing in one ear, dizziness, brain fog, jelly legs, chills, nausea, chest pain and whole-body shakiness, with raised d-dimer and inflammatory markers. A neurologist suspected vestibular migraine and prescribed prednisone, which did not help much.

Their path
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.
