Summary
Tundra 68576, a 47-year-old man, was fit before COVID-19. His first infection left him bedridden for nearly a week; after about three weeks he felt well, then fatigue and memory problems began. During his second infection he was hospitalized with pericarditis; later he was diagnosed with Adie-Holmes syndrome and had blurred vision and headaches. After third and fourth infections his vision continued to decline, and three months after the fourth he was struggling with crippling chest pain and very difficult fatigue.
