    Don’t wanna freak you out, but you’re doing the right thing by isolating and resting.

    I was young and healthy, then long COVID fucked me up, am now permanently bedridden.

    Part of the reason is because I tried to do too much (and had surgery) while my body had COVID so I never got a chance to recover.

    Rest longer than you think you need to, and don’t believe the first wave of relief when you first feel better.

    Covid is mean. It makes you feel better when you’re not better yet, so you start doing stuff again, which wipes you out, and then covid really pins you down and fucks you right after you just weakened yourself for it. People get forever-covid that way, and you avoid it by not doing a god damn thing.

        I’m not judging, just curious. What was your reasoning behind getting the initial dose but not the boosters? I’ve been obsessive about getting boosters if anything to help minimize anxiety about being in public.

          Honestly no special reasoning. Everyone I know has gotten vaccinated mainly to have vaccinated status and be able to function in public during the pandemic period. Just forgot about it after everything went back to normal.

        Goddamn. Me and my family got that round of shots too and we got the bug in '22. Moved across international lines though, maybe that makes a difference.

        Hope you’re breathing easy and taking it easier.

            Been there. Loads of water and rest. I was SOL and worked through it from home, but hopefully you’re taking time off

                Happy for you, that’s a best case scenario for COVID imo. Take the time, live the examined life, rest for now.
