I’ve been dealing with long COVID since March last year. There’s some interesting learnings I’ve had along the way:
- I was almost perfectly healthy and in my early 30’s. Long COVID isn’t that rare and can happen to anyone, even with a mild case of COVID.
- After first getting COVID, I didn’t rest much. There’s research showing this increases chances of getting long COVID. If you test positive… rest and fully recover. Don’t make the same mistake I did.
- Quite a few people I’ve met seem to have the opinion it’s all neurological. The linked study has plenty of proof it’s not, but people seem to like putting things they don’t understand in a nice bucket.
- If you’re reasonably healthy, don’t take it for granted. Health won’t always last.
Thankfully, I’m doing much better the last few months. I think I’ll be 90% back to normal within a year. Not everyone is so lucky though, so it’s encouraging to see so much research being put forward.
