Covid 19 symtoms driving me mad

I have been ill for the last 2 days with a fever and aches and pains. The thing is there is only one time I have felt like this in my whole life and that was when I had Covid. I feel like there is an anvil resting on my chest which I only ever felt when I had covid and worst of all the "brain fog" is back, where my head completely stops being able to process my own thoughts and I have periods where im not sure where I am and I get confused and start thinking all sorts of upsetting things. This again only ever happened in this way when I had covid, it was like nothing I have ever expereinced before and so Im pretty sure I can recognise it when it happens again

and yet I am testing negative for covid. Its really destressing me cos I feel sure Ive got it yet Im being told by the tests I havnt. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

  • Indeed, i am starting to really appreciate a place I don't have to pretend to be close to normal! (I say close because I never even aimed for actual normal... always gravitate to the people for whom normal is not a goal! But still feeling some societal norms are needed, though we can have our own versions of those.)

    The immune system and body/brain response is a complex and fascinating thing. Not enough lifespan to study all the things in enough depth to do them justice!

    Hopefully it is helping distract you from the unpleasantness of the symptoms to analyse them somewhat?
