I've had 5 covid vaccines, and never had covid (as far as I know). My wife and kids all got it, I never did... and yes i tested a heap.
I got sick the other night, the first time I've felt sick in about 4 years... I was achey all over, I got the shiver and shakes and I was sweating non stop. I went to bed and had a very very rough nights sleep. but when i woke up I was fine.
Yet, I definitely feel like in the last 2 years my cognitive abilities have dropped. Also If I dont get at least 7 hours of sleep I'm just a zombie.
My typing accuracy and spelling has taken a massive nosedive.
physical activity is very hard... I used to cycle and do push ups etc all the time, but I'm really struggling to do a bare minimum now. It just feels harder, and I'm not getting the "buzz" or benefits I used to get.
I turn 50 this year, Its got me really concerned about my next 20 years of employability.
I've given up drinking, I try very hard to get the sleep i need... but i'm just not seeing improvements.
