right on the money.
I am not vaxd. I caught COVID in jan 2022.
I was out of it for about 14 days.
I remember watching the TV on top of my dresser while in bed.
I don’t have a tv on top of my dresser.
My wife thought she was going to lose me.
I was mean to her and talking out of my head.
My wife and kids threw out my ivermectin.
I guess i threatened them not to take me to the hospital.
When I came out of it, I had lost 30 lbs.
I couldn’t stand up to take a shower.
I survived on electrolytes until i got my strength back.
I have a spit-load of co-morbidities that got triggered.
The fall-out was terrible.
I felt like my chest was going to be ripped apart sideways.
I was gassed walking 10-15 feet.
My oxygen dipped into the 80s.
My pulse went to mid-high 90s. I have bradycardia and my pulse was around 55-60 most of my life.
Both legs swelled like i had elephantitis.
My mind was semi-gone. My mind was foggy. I couldn’t remember simple words. .
I go to the V.A. for health care.
They scanned be for blood clots.
They scanned me for heart disease.
They put an oxygen meter on my finger. Reading was in the mid -90s. They had a nurse walk me around the office and after a few steps the reading was in the hundreds and i was gassed - breathing heavy.
I was pretty much a hot mess.
Over time, with only a prescribed rescue inhaler:
my oxygen came back,
my pulse is back down lower 68-73 - not as low as it was.
I’m no longer out of breath walking a distance.
The last vestige of it is, my mind is still a tad foggy...I still reach for words i should know.
I took a covid anti-bodies test and i do have COVID antibodies.
I am going to take the test again to see if I still have the anti-bodies.
Did i have long COVID ? I think so. I don’t wish this on anybody.
FreeRegards
“I don’t wish this on anybody.”
I understand your readings very well as I have been through the same. I came in to the docs on post at the ER a while ago with a pulsox at 82 and they slammed me upstairs under an oxygen tent adding albuterol to it in questionable amounts and after 9 hours I had a mild heart attack which could have been worse but I was laying in a hospital bed and got immediate treatment. In the old days they used to call that piling on. Could also be called insult to injury.
