Summary

They recovered from COVID-19 but had a lot of long-COVID residual symptoms straight after: awful brain fog for four months and temporary pre-diabetes, which snowballed into autoimmune, thyroid, histamine and mast-cell issues with flushing after high-histamine foods and exercise. A low-histamine diet and cutting back exercise made the flushing minimal and life more bearable, though MCAS and histamine issues remained.
