Covid worriers on Twitter like “what, do they expect us to just catch this twice a year forever, even as it makes our Long Covid worse?”
Like\u2026 yeah, basically? I’ve been doing it since 2020 when it first went “long” in my brain, I believe I’m on my 7th case (none have been tested, but all so reliably feature the same particular symptoms I feel confident calling them), new stuff shows up each time but both it and the returning stuff is weaker each time.
Well, generally. Actual strength order was something like 1, 2, 6, 7, 3, 4, 5. And based on progressions, I expect from case 11 on it’d be nothing, maybe feel a little funk for a week.
Now, it bears pointing out that one factor behind my equanimity here is when the first case got into my brain it wiped out the part that handles anxiety and thus I am physically unable to worry about things, I imagine without this the entire experience (I was stuck delirious in a body I could hardly control for over a year!) would have been significantly more distressing
