Summary
They had ME/CFS before a Moderna vaccine in April 2021, then collapsed within 15 minutes and developed severe autonomic and neurological symptoms. Two seven-month stretches left them totally bedridden, and for months they could not stand longer than a minute. Carnitine and ALA brought a brief improvement that never stuck. Almost five years on they were still bedridden, unable to get antivirals in Canada.
