    Speaking from personal experience: the first week was fucking awful, because of the fever. After about seven days the fever subsided, but I started feeling REALLY weird, probably a combination of covid brain and dexamethasone. I can definitely see that triggering some kind of preexisting tendency towards mental illness. Reality was really crumbling after 10-14 days of getting my first symptoms. My body felt weird, not only in a "I'm feeling weak and tired" sort of way, but also in a strange way, like my proprioception wasn't working right. Here's me ten days ago: https://hexbear.net/post/45316/comment/406054

        I am, thanks! When I'm exercising, I notice that I'm still much weaker than I was before, but it's hard to tell if that's from covid itself, or if it's a result of spending two weeks essentially bedridden.

          Bummer the steroids didn't make you superhuman. Hope you can get back to where you were, but just working on yourself and seeing progress can be a really big confidence boost.

            Who says they didn't? I was volcel before and two weeks of isolation without energy for disgusting onanism have turned me into an Antifa supersoldier.
