I really hoped I wouldn't have to make another [Quarantimes] thread
My wife was an elected city council member but lost her seat by about 100 votes late last year, in part because she lacked the energy to campaign properly owing to the long covid.
She had been the first choice for deputy mayor by the eventual winner, had she retained her seat. However, from the whole 'now you need to take some time off and rest' perspective it may be the better outcome.
Aw, I'm so sorry to hear it! But hopefully her recovery goes well! There's at least good data now showing those afflicted with mild long covid are getting better within a year, so I'll cross my fingers and hope she'll be better soon!
I'm wondering if my inability to get around very well is long covid related. I had it last may.
I get winded and wiped out feeling sometimes just walking the five to ten yards or so through the parking lot to my car.
Plus I've been getting brain fog type stuff really bad for months and months. Where it's hard to stay organized and on task.
If it starts clearing up in a few months that would be nice.
Thinking about it at the end of 2019 beginning of 2020 I got pretty sick from something my mom caught on a cruise ship. And after that is when I started getting really bad sleep apnea and worse breathing issues. And the same thing where all through like to mid '21 my heart rate would rocket up at the slightest hint of exercise. Though obviously there weren't tests or vaccines at that time I might have initially had it so no knowing if that was covid or not but I tell you what the years since have been pretty difficult physical health wise.

So I'm probably going to sound alarmist, but have you been checked for blood clots? A lot of your symptoms sound like when I had my clots. Immediately out of breath, skyrocketing heart rate whenever I moved around, fatigue. My O2 would also plummet during any kind of movement.
Though actually my spo2 only drops when I'm not moving around.
I'm due to see my cardiologist soon still though I'll just have to ask them if they can check for that
How do they check for those anyway? I've gotten x-rays of my chest in the past couple years but I figure clots might be hard to visualize on those.
I've also had echocardiograms done. That's how they found out my left ventricle is a little enlarged. I'm sure they'll want to check that again soon. Probably a stress test again. My blood pressure certainly hasn't improved much even on so much medicine for it.
Husband just got COVID. As far as we know, he's the first in our immediate family to have gotten it. Kids and I have continued to test negative so far. Trying to get him to get a Paxlovid prescription, but he's dragging his feet in an annoying way. I'm trying not to nag, but there's a time limit on this...
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

If he's not really sick (edit: as in, he isn't struggling to breathe; even "mild" COVID is still a truck), the current advice I'm seeing is actually to not get Paxlovid because treatment often results in less longterm COVID immunity compared to those not treated with it, leading to more frequent and more severe re-infection if exposed down the road.

Thank goodness we have clear and straightforward COVID guidelines, because if we didn't have that three years into a pandemic that would feel pretty fucked up.

also really glad we restarted the economy again! those half a million people that died must be real happy we're *checks notes* heading headlong into a global recession with double digit inflation and personal savings at a 20 year low

Well, balls. Woke up with a mild wheezy cough today and decided to take an at-home test before starting the work week. For the first time since this whole miserable mess started, I popped a pink line.
I figure this can't be the first time I've been infected, just statistically speaking, but this is the first time I've tested positive. Guess it's time to see how well these boosters work.
