Summary
They kept working after COVID-19 but relapsed twice with fever, cough, chills, body aches and a sore throat, and thought working overtime brought it on. Between relapses they had constant headaches, brain fog and anxiety in crowds; supplements helped a bit. They and their husband started taking Pepcid, which worked wonders. They were still working in January 2022 and said they had relapsed after thinking they were better.

Hover or tap a point. 2 steps say too little to place on the scale and are only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
