Long Covid

Lounge
1

I caught Covid sometime on my recent trip to the UK back in mid July 2022. It is now September and I’m still suffering from it. I feel worn out and like I have no stamina or endurance anymore. I get short of breath with minimal exertion like climbing a flight of stairs. My gp has ordered a CAT scan of the chest to rule out interstitial pneumonia. She said my lungs sounded clear upon auscultation.

I had long Covid a while back. It was awful. I was so exhausted and I felt like someone vacuumed all the energy right out of me. It lasted for 2 months. I hope your test shows you’re ok. Good luck!

I am glad your getting it checked out

My niece got told she had long covid, but now they’re doing more tests as she’s getting sicker

She’s only 11. I hope she’ll be ok

I don’t know how to spell the suspected issue, but it’s an immune problem I think

I hope so to. Thanks

Not as close to my step sister these days, so I only hear through my parents what is going on

But it sounds like it might be a life long ailment from what they said

11 is very young to start having health issues :frowning:

Wow. I really hope it’s not lifelong. I had long Covid. It took about 3 months oral to feel better. How long has she been sick?

She had these rash things and sickness before, but it got worse after she had Covid-19

Now it has got even worse, so they’re doing all sorts of tests.

Hopefully she will be ok

I know the hospitals are stretched at the moment, but I would have thought being a child is on her side

I really hope it’s something that will resolve on its own soon or that can be easily treated. Poor kid. Is she able to go to school?

I don’t think she went back to school for the new term that just started

Think they should hopefully get something sorted soon
