I’ve been sick for 11 days with COVID. Day 1-6 was fever, razor blade sore throat, fatigue etc… Symptoms improved after that but I still have fatigue, a nasty cough and congestion plus hoarse voice. Has anyone been sick this long?
I’m 9 days in and I think I will recover within a week. I still have some symptoms but I hope they will be gone in the coming week.
Hey all ive had long covid for 4.5 years.
since my reinfection, my bladder is giving me constant urgency.
I have lost my sense of taste due to having covid. Will I ever get it back
When I had COVID last year, I completely lost my sense of taste and smell. I literally couldn’t taste or smell ANYTHING! It took about six months to start coming back!
I hope my heart doesn’t do the add 20-60+bpm thing it did last time which had just finally started to subside a few months ago
First time with Covid-? Day 11 still testing positive and feeling worse
I was infected with Corona a month and a half ago. Its symptoms were severe: fever, fatigue, heartburn, excessive sleep, and loss of smell and taste. It lasted for more than two weeks. Recently, I have been feeling extremely exhausted, lack of sleep, and my depression and anxiety have worsened to an uncontrollable level. I feel tired and exhausted like I have never felt before in my life. In fact, it has reached the point of thinking about resigning from work.
Yes I was saying last week that libs were getting to me and I was wondering if people still get long covid in 2025. Granted research is always well behind the fact, but I’m sure that people are still getting long term symptoms.
People irl seem to dissociate when I even mention covid, like a trauma response that makes them completely shut down and mentally disengage with blank stares like some pavlovian response. I get questioned about my mask by strangers, medical staff, checkout people, etc. all the time and have had better responses telling people that I’ve got terrible allergies.
Edit: scrolling through a couple other posts and seeing how active the sub is was… horrifying.

Except their trauma was having to think about others for a brief time. And couldn’t go to a restaurant…
I recently saw a genuinely dispiriting article celebrating a long-time local bowling alley by telling the cute anecdote of how they secretly let regulars in to bowl during lockdown, and then using it as an analogy to segue to an anecdote about the original founder doing some trivial act of transgressing corporate rules 60 years ago.
Like jesus, I know none of you fuckers care now, but the fact that we are retconning the past too? Disgusting. Our lockdown was not strict and lasted like a goddamn month or two, it wasn’t a harrowing experience, and it was woefully insufficient, not some overreaction or triviality. I’d say it saved lives but because of liberal cowardice and dipshits like those business owners and their customers, it really only delayed a few deaths.
never stop masking, zero respect for people who don’t mask in public
All my comrades mask
anyone who doesn’t is definitionally not a comrade
Has anyone been sick this long?
YES! Holy shit…
I wouldn’t be able to read the raw content, it makes me so angry seeing these people just realizing the severity of the disease.
I expect to be masking for the rest of my life.
I’m still shocked that people think I’m a wierdo it for not wanting to lose taste, mental functions, or develop some other serious chronic illness. Or that I hate the fact that others are forced into this situation by their material situation.
develop some other serious chronic illness
I’m at this stage and just can’t handle people who are just learning about how bad COVID is 5 years in…

Your daily reminder that psilocybin works pretty well for this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37650700/ / https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ccr3.8791
I’ve seen it first-hand. Long COVID made food taste inedibly salty to an ex. For six months she could barely eat. We did around 2g on a camping trip and there was a complete resolution of that symptom which lasted into the next morning. It was temporary, but nothing else to that point worked.
Helpful. I just want to point out for vulnerable hexbearians reading this that that study is small af. Like it very well could be true, but damn that research is early. So if you have a strong mind and getting shrooms is easy enough, then go ahead. But if you’re worried about legal shit or your brain doesn’t handle hallucinogens well, maybe reconsider. Sorry if I’m being negative.
But yes, if it was me, I’d try it.
Psilocybin definitely isn’t for everyone, even in microdose form.
They’ll take my N95 when they peel it from my cold, dead face.
I’ve had a cold for almost 2 weeks now. Not COVID I tested.
My immune system is fucked
Yup, looks like my Twitter feed in the weeks and months following every anime convention
edit: I saw someone post a CO₂ reading from the recent Anime Expo’s Artist Alley which had a sustained peak of over 3600 ppm…for reference, clean outdoor air has a CO₂ ppm of 420. At 3600 ppm, 8.5% of every inhalation comprises other people’s exhalations. It’s even approaching OSHA’s 8-hour occupational safety limit for CO₂, which is 5000 ppm…like, not even to do with infection control, but because high levels of CO₂ are in and of themselves unhealthy. We could have had a new Clean Air Act for the indoors, but instead the Biden Administration manufactured the end of the pandemic and here we are
Nice to see so many people advocating for masking in there, at least.
Vaxxed?
Definitely a good idea to keep masking, Comrade.
Man that last one is brutal. Thinking about resigning from work, tens of thousands have got to be hitting that point across the country right now, from this wave of COVID alone.
