Summary
In late December 2020 they tested positive for COVID and a month later reported fever and joint pain with signs of widespread inflammation. Without insurance the emergency room was their only option, and they feared that inflammation could damage the brain and heart. Only 800 mg of ibuprofen three times a day, taken for five days, controlled the fever and joint pain, and they asked about safer long-term alternatives.

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.
