high likelihood that this may be related to covid if you can be sure this wasn’t directly caused by recent covid infection (i.e. double-tested early on, both negative), then it’s still quite possibly relevant, as immune system damage is a common lingering consequence of past infection—i.e. the common cold will tend to hit you way harder than it would prior

Maybe! I’m not sure. I didn’t test for Covid or flu recently. It makes sense though, for context I’ve been basically back-to-back sick since the beginning of this year with colds and the flu, (which I’ve never had before) plus unusually bad allergies. But I already know my immune system sucks lol—my WBC has been out of range (too low) for months 🫠 idrk what to do abt it though
