Summary
Maple 29093 caught COVID in October 2021 and lost their sense of smell for nine months. After it returned, head pressure and headaches began, and the first five months were constant all-day pain that left them barely able to work. In the weeks before writing, the pain had become less constant and less severe, and they had not worked out what was helping.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, with time counted from when the illness began. Hover or tap a point. The chart starts 11 months after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. 2 steps say too little to place on the scale and are only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
