Summary
Stone 22229, a 20-year-old woman, caught COVID in July 2022 and felt dizzy, nauseous and migrainey. In June 2023 she developed pleurisy and pericarditis, with chest pain radiating to her back and shoulder, and was put on colchicine for three months. The pain eased but persisted beyond three months, so her family doctor put her back on colchicine for another month; she remained always tired and short of breath and was getting sick often. On her doctor's advice she planned no further COVID vaccines.
