Summary
Pelican 62009 got COVID for a second time on 26 December 2021 and said they had not been right since. Cold-like symptoms eased but fatigue lingered, then they felt barely functional, with constant headache, ringing ears, lost smell and taste, racing heart, tingling skin, diarrhoea and light and noise sensitivity. They were exhausted by showering; a steroid from urgent care had an unclear effect.

Urgent care gave me a steroid for inflammation that I just started yesterday, I’m not sure if it’s helping all of my symptoms.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, in the order they describe; they don’t give enough times to place each step. Hover or tap a point. 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.
