Impact of the Coronavirus and Self-Isolation

[Shonisaurus]

@Duna  I am so sorry that you and your daughter have contracted covid-19. I'm glad your husband and other daughter got rid of him for now and tested negative. Honestly, no one is free from this pandemic. I have had the three vaccines and the flu one, but I think that if I have not contracted it to date, it is because I do not have a social life and I live alone. I hope you recover as soon as possible.

In my case I have not had the virus for now but I have been operated on for phimosis on October 20 last year and now for bilateral hernia on January 24 even though I did not contract covid for my part I am already well served with the operations, polyalthralgia in my feet and hands detected at the beginning of last year and the death of my father from cancer two years ago during strict confinement.

Although I did not have covid, I have never suffered the consequences of the pandemic for my misfortune. Hopefully covid ends soon and that soon we can live without masks or muzzle as I metaphorically call this garment that protects us from the virus.

I'll revive this thread to ask you guys if anyone has mental issues after having COVID. Like anxiety or maybe even depression.

I'm one of those who suffer from anxiety because of it. And the only thing that helps is CBD. As described on this page about medical cannabis for anxiety, cannabinoids can interact with the brain's serotonin production, which is responsible for balancing and stabilizing mood.
In my opinion, it's safer and more natural.

In case you have been vaccinated and had a Covid infection, there is probably no way of telling if one of these or actually both are the cause of symptoms you are experiencing.

I started to develop chronic stress symptoms after the lockdowns. Probably this was not the root cause, but a trigger.

I've had both long before. Not that it helped any.

As far as what covid did to me (had it in late 2020 before the vaccines were out), its made it hard for me to breathe bending over to this day (like if I need to clean, etc). My dad has the same issue, but also developed COPD from it.

The biggest thing during and after sometime was the chronic fatigue for me. I still suffer from fatigue, but not like then.

I'm one of the only people I know of that still hasn't caught COVID. But I have anxiety and depression anyway. So it probably wouldn't make much of a difference.

Really starting to think I have it again. If not the flu. It felt like a cold at first, with mild sore throat, but then mild body aches (which I've never experienced with a regular cold), which made me sus. Nevermind my parents getting wrecked from it. When I went to bed my legs were freezing cold, making me shiver lightly, even after being under a thick comforter. Body/joint aches were also more intense then (and now). Just woke up a bit ago, had a huge sneeze, and noticed my legs, etc were producing a lot of heat, even though I felt mildly warm at best (I hate being hot, so something is certainly wrong). It's like 5:45. Gonna try the alka seltzer again to go back to sleep.

Edit: Would be the third time with covid, if that's what it actually is.
