Summary
After a second COVID vaccine dose in 2022, Acorn 80751 had a blood clot in a finger, tingling and a numb toe, rapid weight gain and headaches with eye pressure on exertion; the tingling and numbness cleared within a month. By 2024 they had muscle aches after a 3 km walk, needing about a week of rest, and asked how to pace without giving up walks they need for mental health.
