Summary
A high-school student who fell ill in December and now thinks they may have long COVID, and whose health spiralled from mid-January, about five to six months before writing. They reported trouble sleeping, poor concentration, chest and widespread pain, poor appetite and feeling faint on walking; heart checks and lab tests were normal. Their medications stopped working and they said they were getting worse, not better.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, with time counted from when the illness began. Hover or tap a point. The chart starts 1 month after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. 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.
