36F, I had COVID in early September and I’m still not better. I have daily brain fog, exhaustion, dizziness, horrible headaches. It’s been horrible, impacting my ability to not just work but live my regular life. I’ve seen my doctor multiple times and went for blood testing and an ECG this week. Doc says it’s likely long COVID.
I’m sharing this because, folks, you do not want this. COVID is still very much a problem and it does have the ability to impact your health long-term.
I get the flu & COVID shots every year, I was unlucky that I caught it before they were available. And yes, the vaccines aren’t always going to target the specific strain, but it’s worth getting whatever protection you can.
Luckily, this week I’ve started to improve significantly so I’m hopeful that I’ll be recovered in the coming weeks. But it’s 6 weeks I’ve lost to this so far and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
Every fall this sub is full of posts people asking “is anyone else sick”…COVID and flu are inevitable. And every COVID infection is a roll of the dice.
So if you are able, get the shot. It’s free.
I’m on itits not free in my area, i work in ems and cant afford to get one because i dont have insurance and am trying to not live in my parents house.
i have had covid like 4-5 times and i really hate it
A relative said that I should get mine for the season and was shocked when I told them that they’re $300 now.
It’s sad that everyone just conpletely disregarded COVID after a couple of years and forgot about it. Especially when it is still a problem today. Thank you for the info and heads up!
