I’ve been sick for 11 days with COVID. Day 1-6 was fever, razor blade sore throat, fatigue etc… Symptoms improved after that but I still have fatigue, a nasty cough and congestion plus hoarse voice. Has anyone been sick this long?

I'm 9 days in and I think I will recover within a week. I still have some symptoms but I hope they will be gone in the coming week.

Hey all ive had long covid for 4.5 years.

since my reinfection, my bladder is giving me constant urgency.

I have lost my sense of taste due to having covid. Will I ever get it back

When I had COVID last year, I completely lost my sense of taste and smell. I literally couldn't taste or smell ANYTHING! It took about six months to start coming back!

I hope my heart doesn't do the add 20-60+bpm thing it did last time which had just finally started to subside a few months ago

First time with Covid-? Day 11 still testing positive and feeling worse

I was infected with Corona a month and a half ago. Its symptoms were severe: fever, fatigue, heartburn, excessive sleep, and loss of smell and taste. It lasted for more than two weeks. Recently, I have been feeling extremely exhausted, lack of sleep, and my depression and anxiety have worsened to an uncontrollable level. I feel tired and exhausted like I have never felt before in my life. In fact, it has reached the point of thinking about resigning from work.

Yes I was saying last week that libs were getting to me and I was wondering if people still get long covid in 2025. Granted research is always well behind the fact, but I'm sure that people are still getting long term symptoms.

People irl seem to dissociate when I even mention covid, like a trauma response that makes them completely shut down and mentally disengage with blank stares like some pavlovian response. I get questioned about my mask by strangers, medical staff, checkout people, etc. all the time and have had better responses telling people that I've got terrible allergies.

Edit: scrolling through a couple other posts and seeing how active the sub is was... horrifying.

Except their trauma was having to think about others for a brief time. And couldn't go to a restaurant....

I recently saw a genuinely dispiriting article celebrating a long-time local bowling alley by telling the cute anecdote of how they secretly let regulars in to bowl during lockdown, and then using it as an analogy to segue to an anecdote about the original founder doing some trivial act of transgressing corporate rules 60 years ago.

Like jesus, I know none of you fuckers care now, but the fact that we are retconning the past too? Disgusting. Our lockdown was not strict and lasted like a goddamn month or two, it wasn't a harrowing experience, and it was woefully insufficient, not some overreaction or triviality. I'd say it saved lives but because of liberal cowardice and dipshits like those business owners and their customers, it really only delayed a few deaths.
