Hi Loupy. My, still difficult to think,… I got Covid 1st then all the things you describe happened to me. Drag my foot. Can’t think, talk. Shake. Nothing mild about it tho. I’m glad you had a break and sorry they’re coming back. The terror in the beginning when I had no idea what was going on. 3 times 1 day I figured I was dying. The 1st 2 I figured what’s the point? I’d rather go here than at the hospital. The 3rd I went to ER. Guy just said not even looking up, you’re not having a sroke. That’s it. Ok, well, that’s good. Gave me a gabapentin. I can’t imagine what it was like to continue work. I was going thru this everyday multiple times. I couldn’t leave my room. Just thinking of that is terrifying. I had no idea what was happening. It’s worse now but at least I know and I learned, for the most part, not to panic.
Good luck. Haven’t been here long and it’s still uncomfortable sharing but not as rough as keeping everything inside.

What are the 5 C?
