Summary

Some tiredness and arm ache began a few weeks before a second viral infection in late September; a week after that infection, their symptoms included fatigue, muscle and tendon pain, flushing, numb fingers and lightheadedness. Symptoms eased after six weeks, returned about four weeks later with worse hand swelling, and by March 2024 had faded but not gone, leaving occasional red, swollen hands and tiring more easily.
