Tested positive in July. Sense of smell comes and goes. Fatigue and little chesty things. Am I the only one who had odd twitching nje randomly? That hasn’t really stopped. Not major but I can feel it.

Ya in Europe many survivors have been detected with memory loss (they call it brain shadow) and low concentration levels. Others (like me) kidneys problems
