Hi Brian! If it's not too nosy, how did you know you had omicron in January? Over the past two years I've been puzzled how folks know which version of anything they had. Another reason I'm asking is because this past New Year's Eve my husband got sick (bedridden, body aches, fever of 102.3). Overnight our son got sick (fever of 100, vomited once or twice and some diarrhea. He was 17 at the time and recovered within 24 hours.). The next day (January 1) I came down with the same thing as my husband (fever 102.3, bedridden, body aches, etc.). My husband was not well for a full three days and I was not well for a full four days. About two weeks later (January 17), my son is sick again with fever of 100 and diarrhea (but recovers within a day), and I'm sick again with same symptoms as January 1. I mostly recovered within three days but about a week later I was having little spikes of fever (99.9 or 100).
I've wondered what we all had, and I'm particularly curious about how I (my son, too) managed to become sick with the same symptoms a second time within the month.
Glad you’re better Matt! Those concerned about clots, from infection or “potions” may also want to check out “Enzymes-The Fountain of Life” by D.A. Lopez, MD, Williams, MD, Miehlke, MD. They also work great for inflammation, and many other pathologies.

I assumed I'd get hit hard in the lungs by covid but didn't. I was the "special needs" kid with terrible asthma before it took off in the seventies. Had Delta, and then Omicron nine months later, both gave me a phlegmy cough for a couple of weeks that was worst at night. But then I was back to running with no shortage of breath within three weeks. Really surprised me. Worst thing was the sore throat from hell that first week.
Sorry, recovered would have been more accurate. Not a co or secondary infection - my wife has that. My three sons all got it from us and they too have the lingering cough issues.
I had covid last year and the defining physiologic feature to me was the amount of hypoxia vs lack of illness. I didn't really feel that bad and I even had a completely normal lung CT, but I could desat myself into the 80s within 30 sec of holding my breath. My conclusion at the time was that it must be either a shunting issue (as described in this study) or a red blood cell problem.
Ah, good ol' mitochondrial at it again! This is pretty interesting. It at least gets us closer to figuring out what may be happening.
The article from The Conversation is a strangely good summary and I like the little diagram, although the authors couldn't help themselves from making a comment about the mitochondria being the powerhouse of the cell...
Not sure if it's related, but I am five weeks post-Covid (exposure on 9/25, first symptoms 9/27) and the cough is the weirdest part. The phlegm continues to this day, though slowly abating. I have not had a cold in years, but I have never had the drainage/clearance issues for so long. Otherwise I did not have a bad case and I rebounded after a week of work-from-home.
Kudos (not really) to the inventors of this virus. It is truly a unique experience.

Lets keep doing studies on a FAKE virus...
