No such thing as long COVID?
I guess my two hospitalizations in the last two weeks, and the 15 different meds I’m juggling, were all figments of my imagination? How about the permanent lung scarring, the COPD, the novel seizures, having my digestive system shut down, losing control of my autonomic functions? You mean my pulmonologist, cardiologist, endocrinologist, neurologist, and staff at the hospital were lying?
Good. Give me the last 3 years of my life, my health, plus the $20K or so in co-pays back.
I’ll be happy to tell my pulmonologist, who I saw today, that he was wrong; my latest exposure to COVID didn’t exacerbate my existing COVID lung scarring, my family didn’t have to call an ambulance because my lungs were filling with fluid and my blood/oxygen levels were dropping dangerously, that my family didn’t need to cancel spring break, that I haven’t been reduced to a shadow of my former self because some wads on the internet claim it was just the flu.
The gaslighting continues.
We are living in the Era of the Universal Lie.
