Summary
Bramble 77424 described long-haul symptoms including tinnitus and exhaustion on exertion. A first Moderna dose caused four bad days followed by one to two weeks of feeling much better, but the benefit faded and they returned to their previous state by late April 2021. They asked whether a second dose might help.
