Summary
Canyon 17130 believed they had long COVID after a COVID infection with pneumonia in October 2024, after a flu-like illness in September. By late November they could not sleep at all, with head zaps, tingling numbness, headaches resistant to painkillers, body aches, dizziness and eyestrain. They said they were already used to being bedridden and housebound and felt themselves becoming unstable. They had finished antibiotics and Paxlovid for the main illness, and no improvement in the new symptoms was reported.
