Summary
At 21, Falcon 78181 caught COVID in November 2024 and did not bounce back, developing whole-body numbness and tingling that left them unable to hold a pen, type or use a phone, along with severe brain fog, bladder irritation and intermittent air hunger. Six months in, the numbness still came and went in the forearms and hands. By August 2025 there had been some good weeks, but the air hunger kept returning and sleep was poor.
