The Living Force
A few closing bits to note whilst in the throes of the experience as it were:
- It doesn't feel entirely like flu though certain elements overlap. One word I'd use to describe it is WEIRD like this is not how a disease should feel like?
- Whilst my partner lost her taste and smell when she had covid, my taste and smell are in tact.
- It definitely feels like a virus so not sure what it means when people say it isn't a virus that's been isolated. It sure feels real is all I'll say.
- Whilst it feels intense given I'd say I'm in the "mid range" of experiencing symptoms (the higher range being struggling to breath I guess), it's not debilitating but I can see being relatively young without underlying issues might be a key component to the body rolling with the punches as it were. The intensity is definitely something to note - the intense unrelenting rolling waves. It's not painful, debilitating but it is something and I'm not sure how different bodies would react.
- I was working Mon - Wed and today I noticed some brain fog... like I couldn't concentrate and instead just needed to rest. The "fog" thus far has only been in this context of intense concentration at work where your mind just goes no, time to switch off and relax. Will keep an eye on this - hoping it's just the body saying to rest both physically and mentally whilst the immune system does its thing.
Being the eternal dramatist, assuming I get through this, I think my position on vaccines will be even more cemented as I'll be having an immune system fresh off covid. Boris can go F off. Continuing with the dramatics, if indeed lady fate has it in for me because you know, why not , then Boris can still go F off... Either way Boris is F'ing off. Excuse the language .
Okay - so it has been 4 months since I had covid and can confirm I have caught it again but it feels very different this time. It's like a strong "head cold" now - blocked sinuses, headache at the front of the head, dry and tickly throat. Gotta go through this covid drama again - if I could I'd like to know how it is I caught it twice in 4 months. This one though feels very different to the first one and definitely more "lite" - at least for now.
Incidentally, both times I've caught it after meeting the same individual.
