16. I have ongoing respiratory issues

Caught it in 2022 despite being fully vaccinated. At the time I was a very healthy 42 yr old man.

Subsequently, I've had bronchitis 6 times in 2.5 yr. Any small cold goes straight to my lungs, requiring trips to Urgent Care for prednisone, antibiotics, and an inhaler. It's been hell. I was just there two days ago, and they've finally given me a referral to a pulmenologist to test my lung function and try to find a way to manage this proactively as adult onset asthma. Unfortunately, the earliest they can get me in is late January, and that clinic is 45 minutes away.

I wish I never caught COVID.
