Summary
Bramble 71112 developed long COVID around October 2020, with near-daily palpitations, dizziness, vertigo and a raised heart rate for eight to nine months, then began to improve with time. By the year mark they were a lot better and most of those symptoms had gone, though not back to 100%. A first Pfizer dose in October 2021 caused a sore arm, a slight headache, tiredness and a mildly raised temperature, resolving within a few days.
