Summary
A COVID vaccine in 2021 was followed the next day by swollen lymph nodes and months of illness severe enough that a biopsy was needed to rule out lymphoma. They later developed POTS and small fiber neuropathy and by 2026 still had debilitating dysautonomia and fatigue, saying they had no life compared with their previously active self. In June 2026 a first week of Zoloft for anxiety felt as if it might kill them.
