Lol same with my wife. As a matter of fact, the last time she got it, NO ONE else in our family got it even I who slept nightly by her, no mask or anything. In addition, she works remote I wonder if there is some gene that makes you more susceptible. Even when we all got it together, the 3 of us were super mild but she was hit HARD.
Covid finally caught up with me

Day 6 update... main battle is still just getting sleep in large enough chunks. I think I'm getting better but it's slower than I'd like.
Listened to the Bad Wolves cover of Zombie and thought "ya know, this isn't that bad at all". Beginning to worry about potential brain damage.

Long-term post-covid effects can be pretty life-changing for some. Anyone who gives it the oh, fit younger people like us are fine, it's just older people or those with pre-existing conditions that suffer - just bit of a cold and back to normal, like my cunt of a neighbour spouted from day one, can go eat a bag of dicks. I currently can't work/operate my business to my full potential and can only dream about getting back out into the hills to de-stress on hours-long runs, which is just a double head-fuck because that's how I deal with my shit.
My kid got covid a while back (along with half his school class) around the same time my wife got it (along with half of her office). Both felt a bit shitty for a week and went back to normal in no time, and that's when I started with the symptoms.
It wasn't just a few aches and pains and a wacky sense of smell and taste like they had; it absolutely floored me. I went from being able to run a 30 mile trail on a whim to barely able to even make it down stairs for a time. Recovery was very slow, over 2 months total to get to a point where I could just about manage taking on work again, doing short and tough days.
But as soon as I put my body under load beyond just existing around the house I started with extra symptoms: palpitations, shortness of breath, light-headedness/dizziness/weakness spells, chest pains and other symptoms that annoyingly were made worse when either stressing myself physically or simply lying horizontal so even going to bad at night was a problem. Grafting away one minute, clutching my chest weak as a kitten the next, unable to sleep properly at night - pure wombo.
Myocarditis, constant nagging discomfort around the heart area and small bouts of angina-like chest pain doing specific activities is what I'm left with. Still waiting for results from the latest MRI and 24 hour ECG to give me some idea where I go from here to minimise risk going forward and see if there's any long-term damage done.
