Is there a form of Covid that has no symptoms except joint pain? Tuesday's acupuncture worked for half a day but yesterday I hurt. Had a massage yesterday and today I hurt more. Maybe the fact that it's gone unseasonably cold has something to do with it? though I hurt all weekend in the warm and mug.

I walked anyway, to the laundromat where something like 2/3 of the machines were out of order, a record even for them. That includes the washer with no sign on it- maybe they'd run out- into which I dropped two loonies before registering that it was a cyber washer and if it had no digital display it wasn't working. The one next to it, with the out of order sign, did have a display but by then I wasn't up for betting four dollars and yet more detergent that the sign was on the wrong machine.

So took me off to my old coffee shop which is now a fair hike, and was greeted with open arms by David the barista, who has learned to project his voice finally. Still couldn't hear him because Zoe the owner and her friends were conversing right behind me and the place has concrete floors and walls. Ambient noise is not my friend.  Said  hi to Zoe, remarked on her change of address to the family co-op, discover that her bf is working at my old daycare where his father also works. Very much a family affair all round.

It's both a symptom of COVID and a possible result of having had COVID.

I've seen joint pain listed as a less common symptom of covid, but I don't think it's been recorded as the only symptom. Extreme fatigue seems to be most common, along with sore throat and a cough.

Yes to joint pain as a symptom of Covid but if it's gone then maybe, as you say, just an owie day. Hope today is better.
