@timbray I only voted "Among friends" because the tense is present (actually just had a friend over last night who was complaining about post-covid syndrome), but I remember when my family and I were infected, we suffered from it as well. For at least half a year or more. We were discussing that last night, too.
@timbray curious to see the outcome but I suspect many people are suffering in silence, struggling to make it through the day but they don't know why or don't feel they can say something. And many may also just be oblivious to that struggle.
There is so much stigma associated with long Covid that people are unlikely to admit that they have long Covid.
I only know a few people at work, because they need to explain why they can no longer work. And often they will describe their symptoms (tired, headaches) rather than the relation with Covid.
What makes it difficult is that symptoms can arise weeks or months adter the infection and people no longer link them to Covid.
