For the last 3 weeks I've had the worst virus I've ever had in my life. A week of diarrhoea followed by not eating anything substantial and lost over a stone in weight, clothes hanging off me and look like I've spent a year in a concentration camp.

Luckily I'm eating again and started to put a bit of weight back on. Apparently our local hospital is full of people who have had it. What has struck me about it is it's similarity to covid.
4 years ago I had covid, almost killed me. In bed for 3 weeks but took a good 6 months to recover fully. Having pernicious anaemia doesn't help so recovery times are going to be longer given that my immune system is very poor but the brain fog and dizziness are exactly the same as covid.
Anybody else out there who has had this recently and took weeks to recover?
