Ahhh FUCK. Yeah, we just got hit this February and got long covid to boot -- after three years of rigorous masking, including scouring hardware stores for N-95s and so on. I can pinpoint when I got it because I have agoraphobia and the ONE place I went in February was to the low-cost vet for our cat -- she got a lymphoma diagnosis (which was wrong, she's in heart failure) and I got very upset and lifted my mask for maybe fifteen seconds because I was afraid getting it wet (I was crying really hard) would damage it and T said PUT IT BACK ON and we went outside. He didn't take his mask off the whole visit. But we were in a very small, unventilated exam room, absolutely nobody was wearing masks, and it pounced.
the two times I've had a single migraine last for more than a year
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH (that could be someone's villain origin story! aghghg)
....yeah, I felt horrible, but not as sick as I've ever been It was def NOT like a bad case of the flu, tho. The long covid has been a lot worse in terms of shortness of breath, exercise intolerance, extreme fatigue, sleepiness, &c &c. I'm really glad you have Paxlovid! (They wouldn't let me take it because I'm on Sertraline) Even when I was newly infected there were times when I was lying on the bed and wanted to get up and it took this really conscious gathering of energy and my body just did not want to move.
