if there is one thing i’ve learned from the pandemic is that #LongCOVID isn't unique; that other viral infections ―especially #influenza― can leave us with long-term chronic illnesses after we’ve “gotten over” the infection.

got me thinking when did i start feeling achy all the time? am almost certain i developed #fibromyalgia after a bad #flu infection, turned into “walking” #pneumonia in the 1990s.

can we correlate the explosion of chronic diseases with the normalization of #flu infections?
