Summary

After two Pfizer shots they were fine, but a Pfizer booster in December 2021 changed everything: two nights later they were in the ER with a racing heart and painfully swollen lymph nodes. A year on they had a POTS diagnosis and were still fighting it, with anxiety off the charts and their quality of life completely degraded. They saw no improvement over that year.
