Summary
Horizon 83646 had had long COVID for 27 months by March 2024, with dysautonomia-related tremors and vibrations, a heart rate up to the low 200s and difficulty using their hands. Beta blockers helped most, easing the panic they felt when their heart raced within about 30 minutes, alongside medications and supplements. They were still not fully well; without the regimen they said they would probably be in bed much of the time.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, in the order they describe; they don’t give enough times to place each step. Hover or tap a point. 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.
