4 confirmed times for me. Only one was really bad. No lasting effects that I am aware of other than like some others, my sense of smell is even better then before.
I hope you are still wearing your mask!COVID and the more than 1.1 million Americans who died from it (and the real number is much higher), is/was real. Denial does not change fact. I deal with disease reporting in public health every day.
I had COVID in May of 2022 and three miserable days of headaches and alternating hot/cold. Brain fog, to some extent, I think lingers today. I have had all vaccines and boosters and I am certain it would have been worse had I not had those. Nothing is 100% sure but with my other health issues and age, 54, it could have been a lot worse for me without the shots My fibromyalgia is worsened in the last year but it has also worsened in the last three years so it is hard to quantify what impact COVID had on my body. I attribute some brain fog to it but a dull, metallic taste lingers now and then and a dry cough seems to come and go for weeks at a time.
I also haven't slept well in years and started on a CPAP seven weeks ago which is beginning to show signs of improvement and hopefully improves more body health.
The reported numbers of deaths included those who had covid, but died From something else, heart attack, cancer, brain aneurysm, to name a few. Dr. Fauci admitted it.I hope you are still wearing your mask!
Ohhhhh…I seeNot sure how your dr feels about it. I just spent the $3.00 at the farm store and dosed by weight.
Honestly guys, I’m just looking for some help and info from people who are/were dealing with what I have. Let’s not turn this into a political shit show.The reported numbers of deaths included those who had covid, but died From something else, heart attack, cancer, brain aneurysm, to name a few.

Never my intent, just stating the facts.Honestly guys, I’m just looking for some help and info from people who are/were dealing with what I have. Let’s not turn this into a political shit show.
With all due respect, everything about COVID was/is a political shit show.Honestly guys, I’m just looking for some help and info from people who are/were dealing with what I have. Let’s not turn this into a political shit show.
I would think that with the maturity of this "long COVID" phenomenon, there has to be a good deal of open source information on the Internet regarding it. I'm sure there are a bunch of support groups with potential references, which could steer you to researchers who have likely written gobs of papers on this very subject. Sorry you're dealing with this stuff. Good luck with your recovery.Honestly guys, I’m just looking for some help and info from people who are/were dealing with what I have.

Same thing happened to me. Lasted a week or so.Wife and I finally got Covid 6 weeks ago. Had crazy head pressure at the acute phase that has improved but stabilized as really bad brain fog for 5 weeks. Wife's seems to be more dizziness than brain fog. I had dizziness the first couple weeks but that went away. Anyone else get this, did it eventually go away? Have to use my brain for work and this is becoming concerning.
Weird that you guys say that about smell. I had it June of '22 and Dec of '22 and I've also felt my sense of smell went through the roof. I told my wife that I can smell like a pregnant bloodhound now. Crazy.I truly believe Covid increased my sense of smell too. I had it three times. My sense of smell was always plaqued by bad sinus congestion. But now I can smell things I’ve never smelled acutely.
Appreciate it, yea it seems to be all over the place on solutions and studies. I believe the people on here a bit more than the people on reddit so figured I’d ask here.I would think that with the maturity of this "long COVID" phenomenon, there has to be a good deal of open source information on the Internet regarding it.
