As a book reader it would have been very interesting to see Princes Aemon and Baelon before they died and see how Jaehaerys’ succession crisis was handled by a previous generation of Targaryens and nobles. However, what we got was enough, the cold open of the Great Council, the simple narration of what had happened and starting just before Queen Aemma’s death was completely adequate.

The first and worse of them was a difficulty reading and concentrating, I would have to concentrate more on reading just one sentence. Best way I can describe it is that usually you could glance at a word, phrase or sentence and get the gist of it. I couldn’t do that and would have to concentrate and actually think about reading rather than it flowing naturally.

I’d write or type something out and afterwards see a bunch of spelling errors I’d written and have to correct them.

That’s got a lot better, and but it was accompanied by slight head pains, almost like a pressure around the forehead. Then after my second infection I started to get fatigue symptoms which meant some days I just didn’t feel like doing anything outside and just stay in.

I still have some but it’s far better than it was and I’m hoping that as long as I don’t get another infection the symptoms will keep weakening until they are just gone one day.

I had my third Covid jab last Christmas Eve, got Covid for the first time at the end of March this year and started getting symptoms of long-Covid the day after I recovered from the infection. The symptoms got better as time went on, hardly noticed them at one time and then I got Covid again over Jubilee weekend. Recovered again but it aggravated the long-Covid symptoms again and have only started to feel normal again a majority of time in the last several weeks. Some flair ups of the symptoms but nothing as bad as it used to be.

It just feels as though people with long-Covid have been forgotten and ignored and no real work has been done to try and combat it. It’s greatly effected my year since I’ve been in the middle of my MA dissertation, which resulted in me having to get a 6 month extension because of how much it effected me, plus how it effected me day to day in my personal life too.
