Awfully. At first I just didn’t get well again after the initial infection. But at least I could still walk about and do little stuff, like loading the dishwasher, going on short walks, playing D&D online.
Bad mistakes. Every time I did a little too much I got even worse and could do less and less. My incompetent GP who didn’t believe in Long Covid didn’t help either.
About four years later and I can only leave the bed to go number 2. No idea how long that will last. We already bought a bed pan. But using that looks even harder rhan going myself. We’ll see.
Now that I know more I’m positive that I actually had Myalgic Encephalomyelitis even before the infection. Just not that bad. But I shan’t tell that anyone because all the science is now done on Long Covid. Even though ME has been known for about half a century and Long Covid is just an umbrella term for everything that can persist after a Covid infection.
Even after we’ve got millions of more cases ME patients are just gaslit or at best ignored.
