Summary
This Reddit user developed dysautonomia about a week after recovering from a COVID-19 infection in late 2021. Five months after infection they reported symptoms were improving with time, and by about six months all long COVID symptoms had resolved except POTS, which remained but was less severe. They had two vaccine doses after the first infection and a second infection they described as not bad. No treatments were reported.
