I don’t know for sure if I have long COVID, but it seems like I do. From what I remember, this didn’t start before I had COVID, but now that I’ve had it, I frequently wake up after being asleep for a short time, maybe half an hour, and cough my head off for about 10 minutes. Like really deep, loud coughs. Then I’m fine. Is that long COVID? I have no idea, but it seems like the timeline works out.

I feel like we don’t ever fully get to know the myriad of ways new diseases fuck us up.

New? The messed up thing is we don't even know all the ways "old" diseases fuck us up.
