Summary
Sparrow 28962 caught COVID in late August 2021 and, though vaccinated in March, had a mild infection with body aches, fatigue and an on-and-off mild fever for two weeks. They felt better and returned to work, but about a week before their last post the fatigue and elevated temperature returned, with on-and-off nausea; brain fog had been on and off throughout. They were treating symptoms at home and had been to the hospital for a heart scare, diagnosed as gastric reflux and put on medication; doctors told them to wait six weeks before starting with a physician.

Went to the hospital and it's apparently really bad gastric reflux. So I'm on medication to help that.
