In their words
- Condition: Long COVID
That was during my 2nd month of long haul.
In context ↗ - At worst: Moderate
I've been out of a job for 3.5 months. Its not that I don't want to work, but I know that my body can't handle consistent warehouse work for 8 hours a day.
In context ↗ - Now: Somewhat better
I have gotten a bit better ... Sometimes I can feel my heart rush, or a bit of chest pain, but it doesn't compare to the first 3 months.
In context ↗ - Began after: COVID
I used to honestly not believe in covid until I caught it myself.

Summary
Quail 70905 caught COVID and was unable to work for over three months, waking at night gasping for air with heart murmurs. By the fourth month they could sleep again, and later felt a bit better, able to drink alcohol and energy drinks again and back at work. They still had some trouble breathing, especially in a mask, and occasional heart rush and chest pain.
