Summary
A Reddit user with long COVID reported symptom spikes whenever barometric pressure dropped: thick brain fog, nerve pain, back spasms, ice-pick headaches with double vision, dizziness, gut oddities and sensory stimulation causing pain. A month later they still had back spasms and spine pain, plus double vision, light sensitivity (boarded up all windows), reactivated EBV and chickenpox-like itchy rashes under stress. Only cat videos and tea seemed to help; no treatment or recovery was reported.

Their path
They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
