    Please don’t wait for your vax. I told my wife we needed to renew last week, we waited a couple days too long, and Covid hit every single one of our family members and us last week. It still hits pretty hard.

      I was literally going to look into getting my vaccine this week… Then I got Covid. So sitting at home feeling miserable. Only positive thing is while its been awful, it hasn’t been as awful as the other time I got it and almost ended up hospitalized.

          Thank you. I’ve slept for almost like 48 hours in the past 3 days and actually woke up feeling good today.

          How has long Covid affected you?

            Glad you’re feeling better today. Hopefully it stays that way.

            Post-exertional malaise is the worst.

            If I push myself in any way, I get a flare up of symptoms so I don’t feel I’ll ever get better. Back ache and fatigue (physical or mental)are a constant. Live by hot water bottles or heated pads.

            Had it worse in first year with brain fog, chest pain etc. Can walk now fine but anything more and I’ll get a reaction. Need to constantly watch myself and rest frequently.

            In summary, it sucks, but I’m used to it now.
