Summary
A Reddit user became a vaccine long hauler after a second COVID shot, with intense vertigo, and was back to about 90% until an Omicron infection in February 2022 brought long COVID with palpitations, leg pain and fatigue. Vitamin D, magnesium, potassium and milk kefir helped some symptoms. In January 2023 a probiotic brought severe anxiety and depression, and they were still not fully back to their former self over a year later.
