Comment on It is not an issue
daggermoon@piefed.world 3 weeks agoI’ve heard of people developing long covid after an asymptotic infection.
Definitely possible, but harder/nearly impossible to verify.
Anyways long COVID isn’t one illness, it’s an umbrella term for health problems following a COVID infection. It can mean anything from COVID triggered Autoimmune diabetes to loss of smell after COVID.
It seems the most likely explanation. Either that or severe depression. Early onset dementia seems much less likely.
Yeah. Definitely I wouldn’t shy away from joining Long COVID communities and the like. They will be helpful probably. BTW, do you experience PEM?
Thank you. I never even considered long covid communities. Assuming I understand correctly, I don’t believe I suffer from PEM.

It’s not unreasonable. A few folks have developed it after getting vaccinated against COVID. To anyone thinking they might skip on the vaccine for your reason: don’t. Health outcomes are still way way better if you get the vaccine.

I did get the vaccine just to be clear. I highly recommended everyone else do the same.
