I had a flu-type illness in March. Lasted about three weeks (Didn't have a cough, so I don't think it was Covid).

Before that, I had gone about seven years without a single illness.

Been in the hospital since last Sunday for a collapsed lung, other than that last time I felt sick was last October-ish, just a few day sluggishness. I don't typically get sick very often.

Had the nose swab test in the hospital, negative for Covid. That does go in pretty deep but it's only like 2 seconds.

around Feb/March I remember feeling weak I couldn't carry my 4-year-old daughter on my shoulders I felt like she weighed a ton, sweaty I was walking up some steps felt like someone stabbing me in the right side of my chest. walking home I was coughing a lot, phlegm
sleeping at night I would wake up feeling like I couldn't breathe, the second week, I just wanted to sleep the whole time. looking back my appetite dropped and I swear nothing tasted right

Well that sounds horrible. Are you ok? How did that happen?

I'm doing ok now, thank you! Mine was what is known as a spontaneous pneumothorax, literally a random collapse with no apparent cause, I've had 3 of them (actually I'm quite certain I've had 1 or two more that weren't as severe and I just took it easy for a few days because I'm a bitch about medical procedures, if it's small enough it can repair itself but you should always go get it checked out.) The people most frequently affected by this are tall, thin males. Apparently it is fairly uncommon with women.

Last time was last December. I had acute gasteritus from a tainted Starbucks drink. My body filled with air like a puffer fish and I was burping havoc. My burps smelled like burnt tires and an old ham sandwich. Nearly killed a guy with a burp in the hospital waiting room. I'm case you're wondering...The farts were barn burners. I'm a teacher and I had to really distance myself from my students or they would have thought it was one of my pranks. It was painful and lasted 6-weeks. I'm very careful about what I eat now.

Don't know. I'm required to get my temperature checked before a work shift these last months and it's always been under 100 degrees.

Was sick in January, February and April. Since April I've been feeling pretty shit. My lungs have been aching and I've been dealing with fatigue. Doctor hasn't been able to find anything wrong as of yet.
 
I don't get sick often. When I do it is during times you don't want to be sick, like on holidays and when the weather is nice. I think my immune system hates seeing me happy.

I haven't been sick in a little over 2 years now. I've had some really bad flu times, so I am really not looking forward to the inevitable day when I roll the corona dice.

So many of you had the ‘rona, whether you think that’s what it was or not! I had it in early February and haven’t been sick since. My covid symptoms creep back up if I eat too much junk food, but as long as I take care of myself I feel solid.

Nope, not since November of last year when a sick family member infected most of the family during birthday celebrations. They felt shitty about it and actually took social distancing very seriously this year.

Yes, last month, but not too bad. I had 2 weeks with non stop headaches, not too strong but always there, pain in the neck, general discomfort as well as tiredness (not too bad as well).

No fever, no nothing. I didn't take the Covid test but I'm hoping it was it, that'd mean my family and I have been through it.

How about your grammatical health?
That has been always problem. Dys (lexia, graphia, etc), so I basically read very poorly when it comes to gramatical errors, I read fast, but I don'necesarry care about missing characters, etc. Also I had to re-learn English last year from scratch, after I had some partial memory loss during the surgery. So yeah, I am trying.

good effort, keep it up
 
No, although I did give myself heatstroke after spending an entire day hiking on one of the hottest days of the year, and have had a couple of tension headaches from stupidly staring at my work laptop too long.

Now I think about it I've not even had a hangover this year, which is impressive given the extra drinking working at home has allowed me to do.

It’s ok. I think I’m slowly losing my mind. Yesterday I described Amber Heards poop as an “acorn slathered in Nutella.” I meant to say “PINECONE slathered in Nutella” and despite rereading it multiple times, didn’t catch it.
