Summary
They had COVID and several other medical conditions, lost their income and relied on public assistance. They took hydroxyzine for anxiety, which doubled as an antihistamine and helped them immensely, and had an allergic reaction to Botox injections for migraines that left them laid up with blurred and double vision and five days of migraines. They remained sick, grieving and too exhausted to sob.
