I get what you are saying. I want to argue that for me it was not the case. I'm no stranger to being sick. I had my first MS attack at 12, and at 38 I'd be a wreck if I'd let those things affect me significantly. When we (my wife and daughter demonstrated symptoms 2 days after me) got sick we might have been stressed out by it all, but it quickly faded. It was certainly gone a month later once the insomnia hit me. The fatigue I experienced I can confidently describe as just as bad as MS-fatigue would affect me in my initial decade of illness. The accompanying brain fog and extreme mental exhaustion (even if the body would still be able to perform the mind would not) is not something I've never experienced except for with MS and with COVID. Due to medication (Gilenya) and having moved to the tropics, my MS fatigue is near non-existant. The COVID fatigue was an unwelcome old friend that came to visit. But with my experience with it from earlier I know how to deal with it (Don't expect too much of yourself. Don't get upset when you can't do the things you want to do. Rest.)
