Summary
Lagoon 18245 fell ill in February 2020 and by October was still extremely tired, falling asleep while sitting, and having migraines two to three times a week. A few weeks earlier they developed severe symmetrical leg pain that spread down their legs and made stairs impossible; they slept with their legs raised. The pain resolved over about a week, helped by compression socks and elevation. They were 39 and had no underlying health problems.
