Summary
A lifelong moderate ME/CFS sufferer, they had only two days of feeling well: one after a first AstraZeneca COVID shot, one during a second COVID infection, each lasting a day; a Moderna booster did not repeat it. Antibiotics for a throat staph infection cleared their hearing problem and ADHD but did little for the CFS. Elderberry or acyclovir caused mild Herx-like reactions; they remained moderately ill.
