Summary
A 35-year-old man fell ill after COVID in November 2022 with fatigue, exhaustion and breathlessness, still working from home. He improved briefly in mid-January 2023, then worsened in February with 5 kg weight loss, bruising, night sweats and exhaustion, missing five days of work. Blood work showed EBV antibodies four times higher than before; a doctor said he had had mono again and should be fine in weeks. He felt worse than ever.
