Additional information: In February 2021, the patient got Covid for the first time. Symptoms included some fatigue, loss of taste/smell, and significant breathing issues. My taste and smell returned within a couple weeks, but the breathing issues did not go away and I started experiencing debilitating fatigue, brain fog, and what felt like circulation issues in my legs when standing for more than a few minutes. Symptoms continued until October 2021. In October 2021, the patient got Johnson & Johnson vaccine. All of my symptoms started to ease within the first 3 days and a few days later they were completely resolved. In February 2022, symptoms started to gradually come back over the coming months. It was gradual, but by July, symptoms were back to being as severe as they have been. Breathing issues, fatigue, brain fog, and achy legs when on my feet (felt like circulation issues). In January 2023, the patient got the Pfizer booster. Symptoms started to ease at about 5 days. They never completely resolved, but I was functional until about August 2023. Then all the symptoms came back to full severity. They seemed to progressively worsen after I got a cold. The patient stated, "Hello, I've had Long Covid for the past 3-1/2 years and I wanted to share my experience with how the vaccines have temporarily eased my symptoms. I have had 4 vaccines and all presented similar results. So I no longer believe it is a coincidence. All symptoms resolved within two weeks, but then return a few months later."
