- Condition: Long COVID
I honestly think there is a covid link as well. Back when covid first started I got extremely sick with something but covid tests were not a thing then.
In context ↗ - Now: Relapsed
It resolved itself on its own and I never had any answers. But last week after years feeling good it came back. I’m suffering.
