Summary
Bramble 44895 fell ill after a COVID-19 infection in March 2020 and began to improve about a year later, while an existing autoimmune disorder persisted, as long as they avoided triggers such as marijuana and e-cigarette smoke. An omicron infection in late 2021 set them back to what they called a deep hell. They described extreme vulnerability to the virus and isolated completely, seeing people only a few times in two years.

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 12 months 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.
