I’m worried about this. I had it a month ago, so am not yet in long haul territory, but I still have pretty debilitating symptoms (fatigue is the worst of them). Reading recently published articles in STAT, Scientific American, etc about long covid is not encouraging. Major hospitals are setting up clinics to treat people with long term symptoms.

Here's one from Scientific American. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-problem-of-long-haul-covid/
I have an acquaintance who is a COVID nurse in VA. She says they are seeing a lot of strokes/heart attacks/blood clots that they believe are linked to COVID.
Just a note that the link is to an opinion piece.
As far as long term, they just didn't expect it but the medical professionals are aware of the long term impacts of pneumonia which is what a good portion of the people are suffering from who are diagnosed with Covid.
I am with a PP, and I said this in another thread, but by next year, I think the numbers from Covid will begin to be revised and the numbers will be lower. I am not disputing it is a serious illness that results in many deaths. I just believe that they way the deaths are recorded will be changed and the numbers will reflect the change.

Well, I'm going into my 4th week of Covid and I have never been this sick in my life. The severity has not been distorted. It feels like hell, and very odd and different from any illness I've had in the past.
I would love to believe that this is just a little flu, but as I said, I have never been this sick and it is not behaving the way other flus, etc. have behaved, and I am terrified.
Yet you’re not too sick to post here. Ok, we believe you.

I had it in late March and into April and this is how I describe it. It feels different, like it behaves differently. I am well aware it sounds nutty, but the aches and pains felt mystical or... something. Not normal.

I had pneumonia and a sinus infection with a fever in Nov-Dec 2018. It was literally the sickest I've ever been and I thought I could die. I was sleeping 18 hrs a day, too sick to watch tv. When I was awake I was laying in bed staring at the wall. Lots of things can make you the sickest you've ever been.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:EVERYTHING about COVID has been distorted and politicized.

+1. Definitely believe this. Was sick as a dog last December with what I thought was probably bronchitis. Never got it checked or treated, just rode it out.
