The False Beginning
It all started in October 2022 (although it almost certainly started long before then) when I caught Covid. I woke up one morning to feel my face all swollen up and feeling terrible. As a nurse, I took the obligatory LFT test which immediately went positive ~ I had Covid!

I felt okay after two days but returned later as per instructed.
However, in late January 2023 I started to feel really lethargic all the time. I put it ..read more
