Summary

Spruce 85291, 31, developed new symptoms weeks after recovering from COVID in early 2021, including a racing heart when standing and low mood. Cutting alcohol and caffeine, a mostly AIP diet and supplements helped a lot, she said. Two weeks after her second Moderna dose in April 2021 she felt much better, with energy almost back to normal and only mild cough, sinus and heart-rate symptoms left.

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.
