Summary
Dew 97744 got COVID in May 2023 and was left with palpitations, breathlessness, tingling, panic attacks, nausea, diarrhoea and chills, mild at first but much worse after quitting vaping in August, which led to two ER visits and a $2,500 full-body MRI. Nicotine mints in early October had them feeling at least 80% better, though they noted it might be placebo, and they think cutting processed, high-histamine and sugary foods stopped their 1–3x weekly adrenaline dumps.
