Summary
Infected with COVID in December 2021 at age 19, she thought she was fully recovered until exercising in February 2022 sent her health into a spiral, with chest pain, tightness, difficulty breathing and shortness of breath. Diagnosed with asthma, she uses a steroid inhaler but still gets hours- or day-long flare-ups the inhaler does not relieve; her blood oxygen stays normal.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, with time counted from when the illness began. Hover or tap a point. The chart starts 2 months after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. 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.
