My friend is relatively young and in good health and he has been dealing with constant fatigue and waves of sickness since his Covid infection in December.

Anyone here with similar experiences? Have you gotten better? Has anything helped get over the sickness?

A friend of mine who is thin, eats healthy, and exercises is struggling with this. It is sad to see.

MY buddy who is in killer shape and weight trains every single day got it and it really fricked him up. 4 months later and he is still having breathing issues. He can't run and exercise as fully as he could pre-covid, and sometimes he struggles with sleep. Pretty sad to see. Covid fricks with some people pretty badly. I luckily was asymptomatic when I got it and haven't had any issues.

Im not being a dick, but I bet he's 20-30 lbs overweight if you have the same definition of not fat as the rest of the OT

Not sure why I'm getting downvoted. There's a post about 3 under mine claiming 6'4 240 is just a little overweight.

And that's why so many "healthy" people have gotten really sick from Covid.

My sister has been complaining of constantly being out of breath and tired since she had COVID after Christmas.

Her sense of smell and taste also still hasn't returned.

But she is also overweight, so

Idk if you can call it long Covid but my sense of smell hasn’t returned, and i have occasional coughing and heart palpitations. I haven’t been to the doctor for it because there’s nothing to be done, but it’s annoying. Age 40-ish, BMI is 20, exercise 3 times a week.

One of my best friends is experiencing it. 40, swam at vtech... still works out, doesn't smoke, rarely drinks. Of all my friends it surprises me a little honestly. I had never heard the term until 4-5 weeks ago. I was busting balls about getting in and donating plasma when this phenomena was sprung on me.

One of my best friends dealt with it for nearly six months. He still has some lingering issues, but it's a lot better. He's not endurance-athlete skinny, but he's not fat, either. Your normal dude that goes to the gym several times a week and doesn't eat like complete crap. Mid 30's with no previous health issues.

I had super minor symptoms that went away in a few days. However, after all the coughing was gone, I had a weird tightness in my lungs whenever I ran or exercised. Often times forced me to stop early. Maybe I was out of shape but Ive been out of shape before and this felt different. It lasted about a month after the other symptoms went away until one day it just stopped

My Dad had COVID in December he now has headaches every morning.

A buddy's wife had it July couldn't smell/taste anything until November.

Both are pretty healthy.

And some people will still tell you that taking the vaccine is more dangerous than catching the virus.

Some people choose to sit on their arse when they are sick. I like to go for a run or workout. Can’t let the virus win. You’d have to cut my legs off to stop me from exercising

I'm young and overweight but otherwise healthy....only thing that lingered for me was loss of taste and brainfog. I had COVID in September.....loss of tase was about 3 months and I feel like the brain fog still makes returns

Me, my wife, and about 40 people I know had Covid and it was minor with no long term issues.

could be something else unrelated to the actual virus.

Like depression.

A coworker of mine died a few weeks ago of exactly this. It destroyed her heart. She was two years younger than me.
