I love this: “COVID positives” ☺️. I have had to find the same, but with the word “long” in front of COVID.
I see you had mono at some point, as I also did when I was 16 (now 48). That sneaky bastard COVID has been known to reactivate the Epstein Barr virus, so if you find yourself with lingering fatigue or other symptoms, have your doc check your EBV early antigen numbers. Mine have been off the charts for three years now 🥺. I’m on an antiviral, but not much can be done about it.
Incidentally, my MIL also had hers reactivated, but after the booster shot. She never had COVID. Now she has bad fatigue like I do, and is considered a “long vaxxer.”
Thank you so much for the information! This is my first go-round, and I feel like I know so little. Everything I Google seems to be a Covid symptom. 🙃 Now my wrists are achy. What?? I’ve never had wrist pain! So much to learn. ❤️
Ugh. I'm sorry you're steeped in it, too. I find that Corporate America is just not kind... especially to those of us women aging out of the workforce. It's something that's always at the back of my mind--how to support and empower others in our situation. But so far, I don't have a solid plan of action. Just stopping by here to say I'm standing with you in solidarity. The last thing you need is more loss. Sending you lots of love and joy instead. XOXO
Academic America isn't that friendly either. 😏 I appreciate the solidarity, though, and maybe one of these days we'll figure out how to change the status quo! ♥️

Sending you oodles of love 💜💜💜💜💜 and
Appreciation for you sharing your writing with us!
Thank you, Nancy. Appreciation for YOU taking the time to read my writing. <3
Nah...it's not just you. I've got that bitter-unfair-out of the blue-unrelenting-job loss-perseveration thing going on too 😬 Feel better soon! ♥️
