Hello everyone. After having successfully avoided covid, sadly I caught it in July this year. I'm immunocompromised with a T cell disorder and am a chronic asthmatic so avoiding it was, and still is, a huge priority for me. I got onto antivirals very quickly and although I didn't end up in hospital, I was very crook. Anyway cut a long and eventful story short, I'm still constantly tired and have ongoing heart palpitations. I go out only when I absolutely have to and have help come and assist with housework & lawnmowing. I get angry when I hear people and the media saying 'it's just like the flu' and when restrictions keep being relaxed and mask wearing became optional. It will be very interesting 10 years from now when all the ramifications of this virus come to light.

Hi Belinda. Nice to e-meet you. Sorry to hear you've had that experience. I agree it's frustrating when people reduce it to being like a cold or even flu. I'm still fatigued 6 months on and the brain fog is only just beginning to lift. It has so many impacts across so many areas of life. I hope you're coping ok and start feeling better soon!
