Summary
Canyon 26169 had whole-body itching and head zaps that began a few weeks before they became really sick with long COVID. They also had near-constant muscle spasms and twitching for about two weeks, which cleared and later returned less often. The itching never fully resolved, coming and going in bouts, and unnamed medication helped. Their psychiatrist blamed an allergic reaction to coming off the antidepressant.
