Summary
Fox 71455 had bouts of extreme thirst after COVID in December 2022 and again after a reinfection in August 2023. By that December the thirst had been nonstop for a month, and they couldn't focus or work and needed to pee. They had gastritis for nine months after COVID, which resolved. Adding salt and electrolytes to water did not help.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, with time counted from when the illness began. Hover or tap a point. The chart starts 8 months after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. 1 step says too little to place on the scale and is only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
