Summary
Hawk 41669 developed long COVID after a mild COVID-19 infection in March 2021, with months of exhaustion, memory loss, back pain and hallucinations. Blood tests found very low haemoglobin and two iron infusions did not help. In August she was diagnosed with pericarditis after chest pain; prednisone eased brain fog and back pain, which returned each time she stopped it. She was still ill in November 2021.
