Summary
Maple 95597 got COVID pneumonia in January 2022 and went on to have long COVID with severe GERD chest pain, rib, shoulder and back pain and worsening brain fog. The pain once had them crying nightly and visiting the emergency room every day for a month. The chest pain later cleared, but the rib and back pain and brain fog continued, and flares left them needing a dark room to lie down.

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. 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.
