    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.

      If you haven’t seen a medical provider about it, I suggest doing so. Sleep is important. This could be asthma, sleep apnea, GERD or a bunch of other things (long COVID among them). But if you can get a fix to it quickly, you’ll absolutely feel better.

        My wife and I make a decent amount but when she went to have an opinion on wrist pain, we have no answers and after one test we have paid nearly 2 thousand dollars after copay. The doctor says we can try the next thing if we want. It’s fucking ridiculous. How can anyone afford Healthcare in the US?
