I’m pretty sure I had long COVID for about a year and I’m just getting over it. I felt slow and dumb as hell, all of a sudden I’m wittier and I can remember to do things.
Scary thing about this is that long covid isn’t something old weak people get.
I know people of all ages with various forms of long covid and it’s really damn scary to see a sporty 25 year old turning into a complete wreck because of this.
That’s what makes it so scary. I didn’t have long COVID and I was feeling alright about the “cold” but it took a month for me to feel like I had the same amount of energy I had before catching it.
About the younger ones… I don’t want to think about it but I can’t help thinking about my nephews. Some of them got COVID two or even three times.
The studies I’ve read aren’t too optimistic about their future health. I hope they’re wrong.
I’m lucky to not have had it at all yet (I’m lying, it’s not luck, even without COVID that 6-feet distancing rule was already part of my normal life because I can’t handle being touched by anyone XD).
Seems she’s getting over it rather quick this time. 2 days of puking, then some cough, week later almost all clear.
I have noticed though, from her previous infections, her incredible memory has deteriorated quite a bit.
It’s a good thing we’re in Europe and they go their COVID shots as one of the first on the planet (65+ers here were prioritized above all others, mostly because there were some massive infections in elderly homes that wiped out their entire populations, one of the worst being the home near where I live, that is now closed, because pretty much everyone died).
For me, it was getting regular sleep and drinking less. It didn’t have an immediate effect, but I slowly came out of the fog and realized I could remember things easier and workout without getting short of breath.

Glad to read that! I know some folks that got long COVID and they are yet to make a comeback. I’ll share your comment, it gives some hope 🫂
Is there anything you can think of that made a difference or it’s been just a matter of patience?

My mom however is now on her third or fourth :|
That’s so unfortunate. I hope she’s ok

That is great. I guess since the virus has different effects on people the ways out of it (or at least long COVID) are also multiple. Take care!
