I tested positive in mid-February 2022. I had been double vaxxed with the second one administered on Christmas Eve of 2021.
The symptoms started with swollen red feet (which I somehow dismissed) followed by really strange vivid dreams that night. The following day I woke up in the morning and was unusually tired, and so took a nap on the couch and silenced my phone for a while.
I was feeling relatively normal post-nap. Later in the evening before sleep time I took my dog for a walk. It was -2C outside and the air felt warm as it hit my face, and as I was walking the stairs back up into my flat (on the third floor) my legs felt abnormally weak, and at that stage I took a test, which was a solid positive.
That same night I contracted a high fever and informed all my co-workers. I don't recall having had a virus where I would literally spend minutes/hours self-negotiating to get a glass of water, or go to the toilet, and for the first four-five days I had no appetite whatsoever. I was in and out of sleep for that period and fully devoid of energy for about ten days. I tested negative on the ninth days.
For the next three weeks, I had almost no energy, little ability to concentrate - overall it took about a month to get back on my feet and about two months to feel "normal" again.
Overall, I think there's something to long covid, but I'm no doctor.
