I am fully vaccinated and got the booster 6 months before being infected. I was hit with a large viral load (sitting next to the covid positive cyclist for 2 hours) and glutened at the same time (celiac), so a double cytokine storm. Being older with some autoimmune diseases likely means my immune system isn't as sturdy as a younger person. My stress and other tests all came out negative for any damage, so I'm good to start ramping up the exercize.

Dear KayAbbott: My concern is that maybe the cytokine storm may have been due to the vaccine and not the disease. There are so many reports of vaccinated people have blood clots and other strange heart symptoms. It is truly an issue that we know little about. Glad it worked out well for you. William
