Summary
A long COVID patient, almost two years in by February 2022. In January 2021 they could work at most six hours before becoming physically exhausted. A second Moderna shot in February 2021 put them in bed for three days, with headaches lingering afterwards. Amantadine, started two weeks earlier, gave a slight improvement in brain fog and alertness.

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 11 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.
