Summary
A fit woman in her late 30s fell ill three months after Covid in 2020 with joint instability and pain; a second wave after her Pfizer vaccine brought vascular changes, neuropathy, blood-pressure swings, blurred vision and memory loss. Two years on, joint symptoms had much improved but still flared, while vascular symptoms and neuropathy drifted mildly downhill. She swam for exercise and ate a largely anti-inflammatory diet.
