Can’t tell because I got Covid right when I moved to college so who knows if my worse symptoms are from Covid or from moving/starting school

Probably but not sure. I have preexisting conditions that cause fatigue and autonomic dysfunction but both got worse after each covid infection

i didn’t test positive for the cytokine long covid panel, but after getting the vax, it severely heightened my underlying autoimmune/autoinflammatory diseases. i’ve been in a severe flare for 4 years now and have had 7 joint surgeries because of it.

The good news is I finally recovered, and the chronic illness symptoms I've had for forever have gotten less severe since I mask and stay up to date on vaccines now. In the before times I figured catching viruses made my baseline worse but I had no idea how much until I made the effort to not catch viruses.
