How are you folks who recovered from Covid 19 feeling

My husband got C-19 right at the beginning back in March. he was very poorly for 16 days, his sense of smell and taste has still not returned, and he refuses to see a doctor... otherwise he's fine now...

You're all super heroes in my book who made it through this.. and came out the other side, hopefully never to suffer again... and
@Lewkat is my heroine, suffering at 87 and beating that SOB..is like riding down the Champs-Élysées on the back of a horse, with a triumphant flag and trumpet playing crowd behind 🎺🎷

That doesn’t sound good, Star. Seems like you should be all over it by now😢 You’ve actually SEEN a doctor, right? Just not talked to them over the phone? I’m probably paranoid now after they found that blood clot in my son’s leg and lung. He sounded like the rest of you with fatigue, temps, ugly cough, extreme problem breathing. After they gave him the heparin drip treatment, he felt like a new man almost instantly
every single symptom just magically went away.
so now I want all of you to have an ultrasound to be sure you don’t have a pulmonary embolism!!!

Am going for a chest x-ray today to get objective documentation and an assessment (and post-Covid baseline) of what's happening with my lungs. Self reporting is so difficult... am I worse than a week ago? I don't know - I can't recall with great accuracy precisely how I was feeling last week. People tend to get used to situations and limitations.

All I can say is I've been coughing for 8 weeks and need meds 24/7 to control it. That can't be good.

I don't have fatigue, a temperature or extreme problems breathing. Just a persistent cough.

Thank you for your concern. I'll keep you posted. Am greatly hoping that there has been no damage. 🤞

Hello Kathleen. It's been almost two months. I have someone to help yes. The doctor says he is seeing improvement. He thinks I will be alright but that it will simply take some time. I am only on the oxygen at night now. I have to spend all day doing breathing treatments every couple of hours now. I am also on four milligrams of steroid one to two times daily.

I use Mucinex to help with the congestion and they still have me on the blood thinner just a precaution. The therapist wants me to get up every 2 hours after my treatments and walk around. There is a gentleman friend who lives across the hall from me who has been assisting me with anything and everything. He's been wonderful. Not one other soul in this apartment building has so much as even spoken to me much less get near me.

I have an appointment with the pulmonologist tomorrow to see how my lungs are getting along. I have a stray cat I call Cheetah who comes to visit when I take the trash out. My neighbor said every time he goes out with my garbage since I've been unable that cat is sitting there looking at the door. When I return from the specialist tomorrow that cat is getting some undue loving and some tuna.

❤️ Glad you have help. What a sweet man. Thank God there are good people like that in this world huh?

and you made me smile about Cheetah! Another something God sent to watch over and care about you. Hope he enjoys his tuna! My cat would be in seventh heaven 😂

Best of luck at the pulmonologist. Will say a prayer that there is a huge improvement and no lasting damage💕🙏
