Long COVID is a made-up disease. What’s next? Long measles? Long flu? Long chickenpox?
You think so? I did not believe in long haul COVID. I had a nasty case of COVID back in 2020. I felt like crap all 2021 and did not realize it until 2022 when I stopped feeling like crap until I caught it again in early July.
One convenient marker for me was anosmia. I was invulnerable in Fart Wars. Food tasted fine. One day someone launched a nuclear fart upon me and I almost passed out. That was in November of 2021. For the next 6 months I had much more energy.
Nocebo, you say? Perhaps. I don’t think so, but think what you will.
