To think covid destroys your immune system

[Yumyumcakes]

Is this a thing? All my family got covid in July including my then 6 month old. We got the lesser known projectile vom variant too, which was you know nice. But ever since then, We’ve had virus after virus, at least 8, back to back and they are wiping the floor with us. Fever, aches, the whole 9 yards and they’re lasting as well, a good week 10 days to clear and then bam and now I’ve tonsillitis (whinge whinge)it’s been non stop. The only other time I’ve been this consistently unwell was during pregnancy and pregnancy does lower your immune system.

does covid do the same? Is this a thing? It just seems uncanny that even in the winter whilst yes a fought and cold here and there but it was no where near as relentless

anyone else had this?

This is an interesting read. I caught Covid at the beginning of Feb this year. Every since I've caught everything going. Currently starting to come out the other side of a particularly nasty cold and I was amazed when I had a negative Covid test.
Normally I'm never poorly and have not had a day off work since 2014. I'm self employed so can't really afford to be off, but some of these viruses have floored me.
I put it down to all the hand washing and distancing going on and then in January, masks were gone, I was back doing activities I hadn't done for nearly two years and DS was back at school properly. I figured it was the lockdowns that buggered up my immune system not Covid itself.

I've got ongoing digestive issues too. Gastro problems are a known long Covid issue. I'm taking anti-acid medication. I've been referred to a gastroenterologist as the long Covid clinic told me they are respiratory doctors and can only offer physio.

I’ve had covid twice March 21 and March 22. I currently have tonsillitis and it’s worse than when I had covid - massive temperature that keeps spiking, headache, swollen glands, aches, erratic and high heart rate, fatigue and just feel generally really unwell. I don’t remember feeling this way with tonsillitis before I had covid!

We’ve had covid at least twice (possibly 3 times) mild cases thankfully each time. Kids mainly asymptomatic. Despite having it a few times I don’t really notice our immunities being any worse off.
However, as a mother of 3, I can tell you that when we had kids in nursery and primary we were getting floored with cold viruses one after the other. Only calmed down when they started year 6 and then secondary. We had it really bad with kids. Often had tonsillitis and various throat/chest infections. So much time off work which was horrific as employers were totally unsympathetic.

Yes but I had all of this before covid. Both me and my 8 year have had virus after virus. This had never happened before I think it’s due to the lockdowns, nothing could circulate so we got everything one after another. I didn’t get covid until a month ago. I thought we both had immune problems but eat well and never did before. The doctor also confirmed this when I called up concerned about how much we were getting sick.

Agree. I had covid June/ July. Horrendous bout of tonsillitis end of August.

I had covid a good 8 months before the vaccine, my symptoms began with covid and were not affected by the vaccines. They didnt got worse nor better.

This is an article from nature.com talking about one study found on Pubmed. If someone on here tried to use a study from Pubmed to argue against covid vaccinations they would be jumped on. Does the study separate patients who are vax vs unvax and how do you determine whether the increase of heart disease and blood clots is from covid or the vaccines? My mother has been an ICU nurse in a hospital for 40 years. She said there is a huge increase in brain bleeds, blood clots and heart attacks in the last year. Apart from the elderly or those with preexisiting conditions, (where there have been a couple unvaxxed) every one of the patients has been vaccinated. Every one. There’s actually a growing amount of evidence that the vaccines are causing immune issues but that’s taboo.

I think that there are a lot of variables, some of which we don't understand, that causes some people to be more strongly affected. This is the part that makes me so angry about Covid deniers. They think that they are denying how bad Covid is when what they are really doing is denying that the number of people adversely affected is large enough to justify the measures that have been taken.

People who had severe covid symptoms having immune system responses similar to patients with HIV. I don't think the research has yet been done on mild to moderate cases.
