Summary
The person had long COVID. They described repeated fasting attempts that ended after about 72 hours, when headaches, palpitations and a racing heart returned and they felt bad but could not miss work. Each time they ate afterward, they felt 10–20% better. At the latest point they were in a chest-pain flare-up.

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. 2 steps say too little to place on the scale and are only in the table. The line stops at their last step that can be placed; how they are now is in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
