Summary
Caught omicron in April 2022 and was badly ill with fever and a heart rate stuck at 140 for two days. After a few weeks they felt a bit better, then developed a heart arrhythmia, widespread muscle spasms, tingling and numbness; in late June they were admitted for tests that came back normal. From 1 August a daily headache that nothing relieved set in. In December they reported another flare and could not cope.

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. 3 steps say too little to place on the scale and are only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
