@astarte888 and all... Well, when I had Mono in my teens as well it was similar to a light flu, surely nothing compared to my experiences with Covid. The 2 Covid attacks I had in 2023 made me quite ill. I was older, but it had no similarity to Mono in my case. Covid was a tough illness for several days the first time in July. I was quite ill. The second infection in October sent me to the ER, with Covid pneumonia and O2 levels in the mid-80s, a sick puppy. Even getting Remvesidere, I got worse and had a couple of weeks of bad illness. It took a week in bed using my Bipap with O2 24/7 to stay out of the hospital and begin to see improvement.

I haven't been the same since. Fighting infections, sepsis, Diabetes now on insulin shot daily, my entire system very much more vulnerable.

It triggered something in my autoimmune system. I developed PMR, GCA and Vasculitis that have each caused me many days of pain and illness.

So, no. I do not believe it has the same features as any virus ever experienced. It is man-made. It is continuing to create problems for us years after we are 'over' the Covid infection. I don't think we are ever over the Covid infection. I think it is continuing to cause damage to our bodies in ways we will discover as time evolves. It is extremely dangerous and unknown... making it even more dangerous as the years pass.

I was extremely ill and have been since having this horrid virus.
