The intense scientific effort that long COVID sparked has resulted in more than 24,000 scientific publications, making it the most researched health condition in any four years of recorded human history.

Long COVID is a term that describes the constellation of long-term health effects caused by infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. These range from persistent respiratory symptoms, such as shortness of breath, to debilitating fatigue or brain fog that limits people’s ability to work, and conditions such as heart failure and diabetes, which are known to last a lifetime.

I got my first Covid in the summer 2022, it was horrible and it was just the tip of the iceberg. I went from working out 5-6 days at week (for 50-70min) to waking up already exhausted. I tried to rest, I tried to work out regardless (and it was super hard to recover) I was always exhausted. This has a toll on all aspects of my life, relationships got severed by me not being available, work was ok (thank goodness I am at a seniority level lower than I actually am) but not great. I went to the doctors but there is no test for long covid so they started testing me for everything and, of course, got lost in all possible imperfection of my body

In December 2023 I got my second Covid. It wasn’t that bad and, incredibly, after that I started to slowly (over months) to recover. I am still not at the level I used to be before (I get tired much more easily) but now I can have a normal life.

Yes, I had 3 vaccines doses before my first Covid… and, even if in my country the Covid vaccine is discouraged for people that aren’t old enough, I keep on doing.

Some people are just more susceptible and it is not the “cold” that some people think it is
