Summary

After flu in about November 2025, Breeze 45915 developed extreme fatigue that doctors called post-viral fatigue. Five months on they could barely function, needed a chair to wash their hair, and felt weak, faint or dizzy when out, needing a day or two at home to recover afterwards. Vitamin D at 50,000 IU for two months, then 1,000 IU, brought no improvement by April 2026.
