Really? What are the long term side effects of the pulmonary and cardiovascular damage done by COVID-19 infection? Can you tell us that?
I can.
January 2020, my lungs were clear.
February to March, 2020, hospitalized twice with COVID symptoms. Tests were not readily available and since I wasn’t considered high risk, they told me I had a respiratory infection, gave me meds, and sent me on my way.
April, 2020, pulmonologist confirms COVID scarring on my lungs. Repeated issues now start popping up with my kidneys.
August, 2020, they move me up to stage 3 COPD (aka emphysema).
Lots of tests, lots of meds, lots of missed work, thousands in medical bills.
November, downgraded back to COPD stage 1.
February, 2021, my adrenal system is depleted. Now I’m on 3 more meds, plus 2 inhalers, plus Cipro, plus steroids to make it through the week.
The long term effects are HELL ON EARTH.
A year of my life lost so far, and who knows how many years have been slashed off the end.
I am so angry, there are not words harsh enough to adequately convey it.
