Wow thanks for the detailed reply, although I'm terribly sorry for what has happened to you.

Covid is a mystery enough. I'm 69 and have been vaxxed and boosted, same for my wife. She has never had Covid, and I had it for about 5 days last year, but would describe it as a scratchy throat and the sniffles for 3 or days, and my wife never got it. I have a personal trainer, 27 y/o and as fit as they come, and he was hit hard the first round, a 104 degree fever for 5 days, before the vaccine, and just recently, he's been hit very hard again. He was out all of last week and I don't know if he's tested negative yet. He described it as "brutal". and he's 27 and Covid is supposed to be getting milder. Well, not for everyone.

And long Covid is even stranger and again, I'm so sorry for what happened to you. I hope you are getting better and get past this. People with LC all have different stories about their symptoms, but they're all uniformly awful. I do hear that exhaustion is common in LC and I can't imagine how awful that must be to deal with.

I admit I'm still in favor of the vaccines and boosters and will continue to get them as I believe the benefits outweigh the risks. But I do believe you and appreciate that you took the time to send such a considered response. I'm glad you found some help in the medical community, even if they haven't really figured out what this disease is and why it affects so many so differently.

All the best to you and your family. Please be well.
