Got his from the vaccine and when i catched covid a year after the vaccine it definitely again got worse.
In context ↗ - At worst: Severe
Fatigue (Almost bed bound), Brain fog so severe, i thought i got a psychosis or whatever
In context ↗ - Now: Much better
It got better over time, but i still have intense problems to keep my life running (work + private life).
In context ↗ - Began after: a vaccination
I got it from the vaccine. At least, it triggered a cascade of things in my body which didn't resolve till this day
Summary
A man in Germany developed long COVID after a Moderna vaccination in late 2021: vertigo, severe brain fog, tachycardia and fatigue that left him almost bed bound, and a COVID infection a year later made him worse. Over about three years he improved 40-50% and kept his job, but still struggled daily. He spent around €10,000 on supplements, most of which did nothing or made him feel worse.
