Went to my doctor, who sent me for blood work and Covid has ####ed up my liver. My liver is inflamed and we're now monitoring it to see whats happened. Apparently covid (and cold/flue meds during covid) can wreak havoc on your liver, so here I am.
Sorry to read that, but good that you got it identified quickly.

People treating covid as 'just a flu' seem to frequently only be aware of the most flu-like symptoms when the big risks of covid are all of the impacts on the vascular system, neurological system, internal organs and immune system.

I hope you don't end up with other long-term impacts, and this is a good reminder for others to take care of their health and protect themselves.

Research also suggests that being fully vaccinated may only reduce the probability of long-term health consequences by 15%, and repeat infections make the chances of long-term problems worse, so take care going forward if you now know you're susceptible
