Summary

A long COVID 'longhauler' whose baseline improved after a COVID vaccine in April, though the immediate reaction to it was absolutely horrible. They described no other treatments. By December they were weighing a tetanus booster after stepping on a rusty nail, afraid it could undo the progress they had made.
