Anecdotal evidence about cases like yours have made me really weary about getting infected since February. I wish there was more scientific investigation into how often there are long term consequences of Covid disease so the public could make more informed decisions. In any case, thanks for sharing and hope you get better soon.
- fossuser 6y agoAs someone who deals with pretty intense anxiety often, it’s worth just waiting for more general data. Physical symptoms from anxiety are real and hard to separate from non-anxiety related symptoms. The current covid/election/general global craziness sets anxiety levels high. I haven’t caught covid, but if I had I imagine I’d be similarly freaking out over every anxious feeling via hypervigilance. None of this means that there aren’t real long term effects, but it’s worth being skeptical in context of anecdotes. You can find anxious people going down rabbit holes of vague symptoms for basically every possible disease. People are not able to adequately assess themselves.

- ljf 6y agoMy wife has long covid, 6 months later and she's only recently able to look after our kids alone - she's just been too tired before. I've dipped in to the groups she's part of and my very rough guess from the numbers is that it is something like 1 in 1000 covid sufferers get long covid. That figure though could be totally out either way as the number of cases was unlikely to have been correctly reported back when she got ill, and the new long cases coming through now won't be 'long' for months yet.
