Summary
Mesa 65321 fell ill with long COVID in January 2022 after repeated COVID infections, with body heaviness, twitching, bloating, head pressure and anxiety. Homeopathy and a five-day fast were followed by about 70% recovery by September 2022, but a November reinfection brought symptoms back. They later blamed desvenlafaxine for a worsening that left them in bed, and in September 2023 still had fatigue and low blood pressure.

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 first step with a time is 8 months after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. The dashed part: the story doesn’t say when. 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.
