Summary
Dusk 67448 developed long COVID after a COVID vaccination in 2021; during that vaccine long haul they could still push themselves, and dizziness wasn't a symptom. They recovered after about ten months, relapsed a few weeks after an Omicron infection in January 2022, got better again, then in late March/April was hit with GI issues, histamine dumps causing anxiety, bad fatigue, head pressure and dizziness, and was basically bedbound. A diet of vegetables and rice, supplements, vitamins and tea left them feeling better, though only for symptom management.
