After being tested for COVID-19 in April 2020, “long hauler” Darryl Porter is recovering from the side effects after getting vaccinated last week Wednesday.
“Long Hauler” refers to a person who is free from the COVID-19 virus to still have lingering side effects.
Porter suffered from fatigue since being free of COVID-19 in August. After a week of his vaccination, he got tired the following day and slept for roughly 15 hours. He noticed that he gradually is having more energy after his long nap.
“Every day is getting a little bit better,” said Porter. “You take a few steps forward, maybe a step back but you’re gaining more steps than you’re losing.”
