I have made a recovery of covid-19 became sick back in late November and it was rough but I'm still here 😉! HOw is everybody who have recovered feeling now? Now I do get trouble breathing sometimes still but much better than before..Memory is a bit slow and my joints kill me sometimes! Could just be my age but that wasn't a big issue for me before..
Hope I get over this, looking forward to going fishing again as soon as I'm less achey and wheezy hahaha I miss those days! If it weren't for this cold weather I just might have thrown myself on a boat by now aching joints and all hahaha 😉

I was 87 last spring when I was hit with COVID-19 and am ok. I did not think I'd make it through that onslaught of the virus as I was extremely ill. It settled in my sinuses and nearly drove me around the bend. I still have sinus issues, but that is old hat with me anyhow. Been vaccinated since and am ok. So far...........
 
I had it in October and feel I'm still suffering from covid related fatigue. I felt great before covid, I was playing full court basketball, pickleball and goinbg to the gym, and never took mid day naps. Now, by 4pm I'm ready to lie down and I don't mean for a 20 minute power nap. I'll sleep 2-3 hours easily. I might sleep longer but I always get up because I have to go check on my Dad. I'm really hoping this goes away sometime in the future.
 

I got mildly sick (a few days of fever, burning sinuses and deep cough) six weeks ago. It's left me with a chronic productive (not dry) cough and inability to draw a completely full lung breath without coughing, much like what happens to many after swimming in a pool for an hour or so.

For the past six weeks I have to take suppressing meds 24/7 (both OTC and Rx) or I cough several times a minute.

My son still coughs
 
I started getting sick right after Christmas. I'm certain I picked it up at the grocery store. I was put on a ventilator and kept sedated. I was there until the third week of January. I was alright towards the end of January then a couple days ago I had to go to the ER. They have me home on oxygen now. I am also having to endure breathing treatments which I am due for now so I am going to go. Peace and wellness to you all.

Yes I sleep much longer too.. That's why I am up at these odd hours haha 😉
 
I was hospitalized for 2 weeks and my wife 9 days ...a month later we are still so fatigued ... breathing capacity is not back yet .... I was running 3 miles prior to covid ..now I am exercising walking three flights of stairs . Four flights is grueling now .

still not sleeping well . I tend to sleep two hours , wake up , go bsck for two hours and repeat
 
I was in hospital for 10 days after being ill at home for a week - back in April 2020. I'm doing ok but still not 100%. Still get sudden bouts of extreme tiredness. Still having physio on my back and hip. And currently waiting for surgery on my shoulder.

But I'm here and I'm alive! 🥳🥳🥳

What kind of meds are you taking for this, @mathjak107? I use OTC Robitussin and NyQuil (every 3-1/2 hours) plus Rx Alvesco inhaler twice a day.

Yes. I had to return to the ER the other day. I am now on oxygen at home. I am in a great deal of pain. I would've preferred dying over the misery I am currently experiencing.

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!!!

And I’m giddy with happiness that you are still here and alive, Oy 💕. But wish you were 100%
The back, hip, and shoulder are all from the covid???
