Summary
A person with ME/CFS who had COVID the previous winter reported inflammation, body pain and reactions to high-histamine foods. Eating AIP or paleo reduced the inflammation and pain and calmed their heart rate, though cheating on it brought the pain back. They could walk only a few hundred metres on good days and used a wheelchair to go further, pacing carefully. Illness duration was not stated.
