Summary
Six months after long COVID began, Wave 82021 still had waves of palpitations, confusion, blurred vision, vertigo and next-day crashes after exercise. Naturopath-prescribed supplements and propolis were the only things they said helped, and they reported slow improvement. A first vaccine shot cleared a feeling of unreality, but a second brought tinnitus at night. At their last post they still mentioned blurred vision and tinnitus at night.

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 6 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.
