Summary

Dew 61579 says they were hit hard by COVID in January 2020, with two months of heavy flu-like symptoms, then loss of smell and taste and extreme tiredness. The fatigue eased after about six weeks, but taste took nearly a year and their brain didn't feel the same. A COVID vaccination brought severe forehead and arm pain that sent them to the ER, where nothing abnormal was found.
