Summary
The user became ill with long COVID in January 2021, developed stomach issues in March and severe daily headaches from June, plus brain fog. H. pylori antibiotics improved the stomach but headaches persisted. In October they reported a first week without headaches and much improvement after ivermectin, vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, omega-3s and a vegan diet, though slight brain fog remained. Ivermectin made their stomach feel weird again.

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 2 months after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. 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.
