Summary
Falcon 67861 fell ill at the end of November 2022 after a suspected COVID exposure, with a severe headache, chills and then almost daily fatigue, body aches and congestion. About three months in they still woke almost every day achey and fatigued, with their longstanding depression worse and brain fog hard to tell apart, and back to a very low baseline after one unexplained day of unusual energy.
