You've been through a wringer. 😟

I've had ME/CFS for 40+ yrs. Am a magnitude better than when I experienced the first awful onset. However, it's something I've never totally recovered from because the virus altered my immune system. Symptoms come in fairly rare bouts now. If I become too stressed/too exhausted or even inundated with too many allergens like mold, my body temp increases a fraction and the night sweats and extreme fatigue begin. I'll most likely die if I contract Coronavirus because, besides ME, I have two other comorbidities.


For anyone wondering:
