Summary
Got COVID in November 2020 and had never-ending back pain that mostly subsided by August 2021. A COVID vaccine brought all the symptoms back along with new, seemingly permanent blurry vision, and they say they will never take another COVID jab. By January 2022 their back pain was still crippling at times, and nothing short of Percocet helped.
