Hello Twitter, I have seen so many people suffering and loved ones lost, I wanted to tell my story and raise some awareness about Covid and what it is doing to people. So, here goes... I was diagnosed with Covid in October. I felt like I was dying. I couldn't breathe, ....

I was coughing so hard I was vomiting, I felt like every nerve in my body was screaming, my joints ached, my head hurt, the fever made me dizzy and almost delusional. It was a state of complete misery. If I hadn't had people to talk to I might not have made it....

After the worst passed, I still had a horrible cough and the occasional spike in fever.. this too faded. Then, because I was so weak, I kept getting sick. The flu got me and I was almost back at the beginning. This virus destroys your strength and immune system....

It leaves you venerable and weakened. I struggled thought hat and thought I was finally on the mend. This whole thing to this point had lasted from October until January. Still weak but feeling a bit better, I was hopeful. Then, the headaches started. At first just a regular....

Constant ache then progressing into a migraine level headache. It wouldn't go away. No matter what I did. I went to my doctor and had scans done and discovered that I had inflammation and swelling in the blood vessels surrounding my brain. I was out on antibiotics and....

Steroids, as well as pain killers. This helped a little, but the pain was still there. Then, I started vomiting and I fell due to dizziness. Back to the doctor, more scans and tests. I had had two small aneurysms in my head. Not bad enough to kill me or cause a stroke, but....

Scary nonetheless. Stranger steroids, stringer antibiotics, more painkillers....finally, now , 4 months after initially contracting covid, I am on the mend. The inflammation is going down, and as long as I don't tax myself, no apparent risk if it coming back. I'm still weak,...

Tired much of the time, and the smallest tasks wipe me out...I'm one of the lucky ones. I wasn't hospitalized or placed on a ventilator. The virus didn't kill me. This is a serious thing. The creation of a vaccine is not an immediate fix. It's still here an will be for...

Months to come. Please, please, I am begging all of you. Wear your masks, wash your hands, limit your exposure, don't leave your home unless you have to, and if you do, stay away from others. The social isolation sucks, but we have to do this. Social isolation is....

Nothing compared to the loss of a loved one or dying yourself. You have people who love you and you have people you love. Remember this and keep safe. Don't let complacency make you lac in protecting yourself and those you care about. Thank you for listening.

One last thing. If you know someone who is sick or if you see someone on here who is suffering, reach out. Please. It makes more of a difference than you might think. Thank you everyone.

Also, just so everyone knows. I was diligent about wearing my mask. I washed my hands, I used sanitizer. I kept at least 6 feet between me and others. So I must have slipped up somewhere, handling money or something. Be super aware.
