Summary
They were infected with COVID in August 2020 and long-hauled for five months. The first Moderna dose brought improvement within days, but after a reinfection and the second dose they have been long-hauling again with fatigue, muscle aches and joint pain. By November 2021 vitamin D and famotidine were helping and symptoms were improving, though joint and bone pain flares continued.
