Summary

A person with long COVID and vaccine injury described severe damage, with a POTS rollercoaster and constant sinus infection and nosebleeds. Two stellate ganglion blocks and a throat procedure over three appointments at a Texas clinic, in about a week, got them upright with no POTS, dizziness, nosebleeds or infection; they credited the clinic's ordered protocol. They still described severe damage.

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.
