Summary
Prairie 39511 caught COVID in the 2021 delta wave and had long COVID for about a year, with daily panic attacks that sent them to the ER. They credited Regeneron during the acute infection with saving their life and NAC with helping; Paxil caused palpitations and was stopped after a week. Symptoms cleared just before a second infection in January 2023, and a third in September 2023 left symptoms again, probably long COVID.
