Long COVID is nasty, but it is also really *weird*. (1/6)
1. My eyesight had always been fine, but became progressively worse after falling ill. Everything looked blurry. It got to the point where I maxed out the text size on all my devices. Then: over the course of two weeks, it: just got better! (2/6)
2. When I'm particularly fatigued, if I attend to a particular place in my head, I feel like I'm floating. Anywhere else—my chin, my fingers, my calves—and I sink. What the heck is happening? (3/6)
3. I love music. But, when I was really sick, my favourite songs stopped sounding right. It would take me a few minutes to process what I was hearing and to recognise the hooks that I know like the back of my hand. (4/6)
4. Amidst the fatigue, I would get these brief bursts of *witch energy*. I remember clutching our youngest tightly in my arms and being unable to stop pacing, as fast as I could, back and forth, until dizziness consumed me. (5/6)
Thankfully, I now seem to be mostly past this stuff. Again, huge thanks for your kind words and support, and for those still struggling: there's hope! (6/6)
