Summary
After a third COVID infection, Vale 35536 had long COVID symptoms — swollen lymph nodes, frequent colds, sleep problems and anxiety — for two years before they mostly resolved in spring/summer 2025. A sixth infection three weeks before writing was the worst yet: bedbound a week and unable to walk for two weeks, with new dizziness. They now manage two hours of thesis work a day only if they do nothing else, and cannot leave the house except for a five-minute walk.

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 2.3 years after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. 2 steps say too little to place on the scale and are only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
