my covid is still not recovered. Today marks the two weeks. I got fever the first day and then fever was gone but body pain and weakness was there. In 2 days, body pain was gone too. Now I couldn't only eat well. So tried light food but after sometime it was harder to eat properly.
Now I'm having the same diet I used to have before covid, but I'm still not feeling well. I feel pain in my shoulders. My heart races almost all the time and that gives restlessness to my days and it's very hard to focus because of that. Family issues, work, excitement of switching companies, even small bit of sound makes me more restless. If someone has the same symptoms when did they last?

From what i read the symptoms can be permanent. I saw some videos where standing up caused an pulse of 120.

@stop Permanent? maybe not in my case, because I'm recovering maybe slowly but recovering.

@true-dev001 i would not worry about the recovery. Long-covid is what i would worry about. The damages the virus does to many organs is concerning. Brain, testicles, ovary, the digestjve system. We hadn't found an organ where covid doesn't damage.

@stop I think one should be careful before saying something about its permanency, not enough time has passed

I'm sorry but it seems you are showing long-covid symptoms and will probably suffer of this for the remainder of your life.

Ignore all this about it being permanent. It's only been two weeks for phucksake. Keep eating well. Get enough exercise. Don't worry about what might be.

i've had it a year ago. during the sickness, i sometimes had 120 pulse _lying down_.

couldn't taste some things (cinnamon, sugar, mint) for _months_ afterwards.

my general constitution was kicked back to the level i had before i quit smoking ~8 years ago.

even now, i'm only about 80% recovered in that regard - but at least my sense of smell/taste is back 100%.

My subject experience, as a laymen, is, that people who are more scared of Covid had it worse and had longer lasting effects than people that are not scard of Covid.

Not sure why, as a laymen, guess it is one of the following (this is not medical advice):

1. Social distancing, wearing masks and cleaning/washing hands a lot reduced the exposure to pathogens, causing the immune system to get weaker.

2. Social distancing and less time outside had a negative impact on the mood, which makes someone weaker.

3. Placebo: You think it must be bad, therefore it is bad for you.

4. Vaccine weakens your immune system (not so sure about that)

My experience could also just be a fluke.

@happygimp0 and all of those people who got really sick and died at the start of the pandemic, before social distancing, lock downs, manic cleaning and vaccine, got bad because?

@nibor There are people that go sick and die all the time, with or without covid. But i assume you mean people that got sick and died from covid? I said it is a subjectively observed trend. That does not mean that there are no people who didn't fear covid that died of covid. My point is: I personally believe, that being scared of covid makes the situation worse.

@happygimp0 being _scared_ makes anything worse.

but not as much as _not being cautious_ does.

@UnicornPoo smell/taste recovery can be accellerated by really _focussing_ on the sensations. tasting single spices, carefully sniffing on your wine glass, and so on. retrains the nerves.

I got over covid last fall in about 3 to 4 days. I take 4000 iu of vitamin D, a good multivitamin, zinc, and ivermectin (as needed). My guess is you are probably chronically low on vitamin D. Most people are.

@jfgilmore I saw a talk by an actual virologist that said deficiencies are common. Especially vitamin D.

@Demolishun its easy to poison yourself with vitamins. Especially with the fat disovable like D and A you need to watch out, because they are often the source of hypervitaminosis. Before taking additional vitamins you always should go to the doc.
for example: the livers of polar animals have an high concentration of vitamin d that eskimos threw away the livers of icebears.

@stop I think the recommended vitamin d dose is like 5000 iu. But yes, you should be aware of amounts.

@jfgilmore No. I talk about people that i know in real live, that i see at least once every 2 weeks. Except when you mean with confirmation bias, that people that are scared are more likely to say something is from covid, then yes, it could be.

@stop no one really knows what to expect and for how long. Every human being is different.

@stop yet.

@matt-jd I definitely not true.

@tosensei there is something with taste/smell senses + covid. Both my parents had covid more than one year ago and both have 0 smell sense.

@macfanpl It is true, the only permanent side effect confirmed so far is death, there is no way to prove real long term effects spanning many years as it has barely been 2 years which is not enough time to know the effects over a whole decade. Enough fear mongering about covid

@stop polar bear liver has so much vitamin A, it's actually acutely toxic for humans.

@tosensei if its toxic, it means that its risky to eat/drink it.

@jfgilmore sure but that is a separate matter (I have not mentioned any vaccines even?), fear mongering and drawing conclusions that can not be made is not productive

@macfanpl ...yes, that it does. and yes, that it is.

@jfgilmore maybe so? but to a much lesser extent. the accumulation of vitamin A in polar bears is much more intense due to the food chain polar bear => seal => fish => smaller fish => plankton. so it's definitely much more "enriched"

@jfgilmore lol, news media and health information. You do know where most news media outlets get their funding right? big pharma

@jfgilmore That is even worse. Same money.
