I'm fighting it right now myself. Have my initial vaccines and got my booster about a month and a half ago. First two days were terrible, but now it just feels like a cold. What I can't handle is the brain fog. I've been awake enough to do some last minute code reviews for people before we start the Christmas shutdown and they have taken me double/triple the amount of time they usually take me. Answers to questions don't come as fast, etc. I really hope the fog clears up soon, it's pretty demoralizing for me right now.

Both me and my wife are fighting it right now, confirmed via PCR testing. Started as cold like symptoms, but a cold I've never experienced before. Unless I keep up the paracetamol it's unbearable... Not much of a cough for me, but my head is spinning and it's hard to focus on anything.

Lost all sense of taste and smell too.

It's not fun people. We are both fully vaccinated.

I know I'll catch grief for this but ivermectin will clear it up very quickly and is your best bet against letting it morph into long covid.
