Summary
A 24-year-old personal trainer developed long COVID after a COVID-19 infection in November 2021. Soon after a nine-day fever she collapsed with severe low back pain and spent two weeks in hospital unable to sit up; scans showed nothing to explain it. Walking normally took three months, but daily pain, essential tremor and intermittent fibromyalgia continued and she was stepping away from her training career.
