"Long Covid" is a thing.


How do you know if you have it or not? Are there any test?

Long covid"? Chronic fatigue syndrome


This sounds as dangerous as the clot shot. Hopefully she is ok.

She is so bubbly and energetic in her YT videos though.


Depressed people are often very good at being what they think people want to see.

Before I got my shite straight, I found myself sitting at my daughter's preschool graduation with a smile on my face while wondering what would happen if I just went to my truck and blew my head off. I looked like a proud happy dad to anyone who looked at me.

Yes. In my cousins case they upped the dose on his fibro meds and the doc said if that was working it was likely long Covid

I know right. Spidey senses going off about this one being partly made up.

You need to just quietly sneak in and put a pillow over your cousin’s face while he is sleeping. Be an angel of mercy.

The OT said so. It’s just the flu


See that's where you're wrong. We said it's not as bad as the flu.

this.
She's an idiot.

My wife did the same thing. She feels bad so she just lays in bed all fricking day watching tv and napping. Doesn't want to eat, doesn't drink anything, never goes outside, and doesn't want to take medicine for her symptoms. She did that for a good 5 days.
Well of course you feel terrible and aren't getting better. You're trying to kill yourself. Stop making yourself worst dumbass. You're literally telling your body you're giving up by just laying their in bed 24 hours a day not eating or drinking.
I had the same sickness about 2 weeks before she started them, and yeah i felt like shite for about a week and had a fever for about 3.5 days, and then it lingered on for another week or two where i didn't feel bad but still didn't feel back normal. I couldn't do anything active without coughing up a lung, and there were days i just felt dead energy wise. At no point did i just admit defeat and lay in bed all fricking day. Suck it up buttercup.

What clinical test were used to confirm long covid? Just curious.


Not talking about her in specific but it would be reasonable to use that term for someone that develops certain symptoms when they get Covid that then never really go away (or for an extended period of time) Most obvious instance would be those who lost sense of taste or smell.

You'll never be perfect. Even people without depression have to fight the 2nd law of thermodynamics every moment of every day.

Long COVID


Some of this can be attributed to Epstein-Barr Virus (mono) antibodies that Covid apparently can trigger.
