Some of the research is suggesting that some of the impact of contracting COVID may become lifelong and also that some of the complications may not become severely problematic until later (lung, cardiovascular etc)
My friend also hasn’t got their sense of taste and smell back 6 months later!!
C2 - how much booze have you had tonight? 🥃 🍻 🍺 🍷 🍹 🍸

Since you had it so early on and probably also had a severe lifestyle change since March with everybody wfh/quarantine, perhaps it's that as well? Maybe these lifestyle changes have also made you more prone to get minor sickness/illness - change in diet, being home all the time, etc
Not ruling out long-term effects of COVID mind you, but just bringing another possibility.
In the end though, we are not doctors, so your best bet is probably your actual doctor

Frequent fevers could be a low-grade infection. You should get that checked out. FB is not a good source for identify lingering COVID symptoms vs other potential causes.
^^ this. Go to a doctor - even telehealth - in a city where covid was hit hard (e.g., nyc)
1. I think 2-3 months is really normal according to my doctors and I felt dramatically better after ~3 months. You can get a heart ecg and lung x ray too if you’re concerned. I also had double pneumonia but they both cleared! Been a bit longer for you....
2. would also be worth getting your bloodwork done - 3 months later for me some symptoms showed back up but it was actually because my blood work was whack post covid
3. There is a stomach bug and two food issues (onion and lettuce related) going around right now! Overlooked bc everyone is freaking about covid.
I had a mild case in March. In bed for a day. Did not have the loss of taste or smell and no lingering effects. I do know at least 4 other guys, aged over 55 who had mild symptoms and tested positive. Only one of them got really sick for about a week and he is 100 percent recovered with no problems now. But there was the wife of one of my buddies who was in the hospital for 2 weeks, never the ventilator but she really was in a lot of pain and truly felt she was going to die. It took her over a month to recover and she’s not back to normal yet, but thinks that she will be back to normal soon. That’s all I know. Got to take it seriously.

Mate, a friend of mine (23F no pre existing conditions) contracted COVID months ago...took her 15-20 days to recover but the effects have lingered on. Although seem to be getting lower and lower slightly. There are some things you can control vs. not, definitely you will have to consider healthier cardio and lung type choices until the medium to long term effects of this are more known...but chances are you should be OK even in the long-term.
Covid in July. I’ve had really bad acid reflux, recurring headaches (some so bad I can’t drive), lost my taste again temporarily and get winded pretty easily.
I’m sure I had it back in April with mild symptoms. I lost my sense of smell and taste and was lethargic and tired for like a week. Since then my sense of smell and taste completely changed.
Yes my moisturizers and shampoos don’t smell as good anymore!
