Summary
Plover 39492, a young male college student, fell ill in March 2020 with a cold-like illness and over two years developed vision loss from a branch retinal artery occlusion, Raynaud's, POTS with palpitations and chest pain, then brain fog, headaches and dizziness. Hydration and rowing eased the POTS by April 2022, but blood pooling in heat and dense brain fog remained.
