I know someone's case who got it 3 times. The first 2 times full recover in no time. The third one took couple of months and now feels tired all the time, lost all sense of taste and smell, swollen tongue, body pain of sitting still due to the compression of muscles.

This person told me it was sure it was related to COVID because there was nothing before or after it and that was the only thing that happened.

Kinda sucks to thing that everytime it might be a chance for that or worse

I had covid 7 or 8 times lol. Basically 2-3 times a year from Jan 2022 until spring of 2025. Luckily there have been seemingly no long-term effects for me, and it's been over a year since I last tested positive.
Maybe tell this person to see an autonomic dysfunction expert.
Not sure if needed. It depends much on your exposure. If you have someone on your family it is a factor of risk. Which just makes things insane considering that they exploit it get couple hundred bucks more per insurance.

It has been cheaper to not work for the healthcare system lately. Also because people are a**oles to nurses and the rest of the staff.
