Summary
A Reddit user in r/covidlonghaulers described a long COVID illness with POTS, fatigue, headaches and eye strain. After a first vaccine dose in January 2021 they felt slightly better, were able to move a couch alone that night, and their headaches eased a little. They had heard that the effect can wear off and were watching how it went.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, in the order they describe; they don’t give enough times to place each step. Hover or tap a point. 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.
