THE ONE
Hello Family
WOW!! Thank you guys so much for everyone that reached out to me. I'm blown away by this amazing community. Thank you so much, I genuinely appreciate it.
I've been discharged and I'll give you guys a full breakdown. Btw they gave me an inhaler but said it won't help me much and have referred me for breathing physio and rehab but they don't have an appointment for two weeks so I'll be on an inhaler till then.
I'll give you guys a long list of medications and referrals they gave me but I know it's antibiotics, a steroids (medrose pack) warafin and another one and inhaler. I'll have to go to the breathing physio and see the other person for my breathing training and rehab once it has all cleared to do the rehab clinic. They're sending quite a few of the 'long covid' people there.
Weird thing To Know Post Covid Autoimmune Disease: I broke a bone THREE years ago and before I went to hospital my leg had been aching but I put it down to the symptoms. Guess what? The pins from THREE years in my leg which they used to put the bone back together was also inflamed (!). So it basically began attacking all my weak spots and causing inflammation everywhere. This freaked me out as my body was essentially beginning to attack itself far beyond my lungs and heart. You need to make sure you go to a Dr if you develop longer term symptoms as covid IS NOT LIKE FLU it can attack your whole body. You can go into full-body autoimmune from it and it's hard for the Drs to even pinpoint everything as so many random organs/areas go into inflammation mode and each area may require another treatment. The nurse was telling me a lot of people develop arthritis also from long covid.
If that area continued to be inflamed and the body kept attacking it I would have needed to have another surgery on the bone to replace the pins. Crazy right? As it spreads everywhere. The doctor said we will monitor the bone pins also. Praying the treatment works because it took me months to recover from that bone-breaking so them going in to replace the pins in another surgery would be an absolute disaster and affect my life and work. As I was fukked after that injury for months. I can't do that surgery again. The recovery and pain which followed for months was hell.
So if you've ever broken a bone, have chronic joint pain anywhere etc pray you don't get this long covid shyt. You may need to have another surgery on the area again. This is NOT flu!
I've also signed up to be part of a long research program they're doing on this also. I wouldn't usually sign up to be part of research but they said it will really help others to be part of their research program for them to be able to develop long covid departments. The research is being led by an immunisation consultant Dr and they're asking if you can allow them to treat/follow you for a year as they said so many people have so many things. They said a third of covid patients will have long covid and it's going already a major health crisis but the symptoms are so expansive and it affects so much that they need help to create good departments.
I am glad I didn't have the brain cognitive decline and it's only affected my heart and lungs. Some people it affects their brain too. The nurse was telling me that people have had to quit work who had the brain and cognitive issues as they couldn't work anymore. I wouldn't have been able to cope with all that as I'm a very analytical person. But she said a lot of people lose cognitive abilities and have to quit work and the neurologists have to see them for brain rehab. It's just so many symptoms.
I'll check in and give a longer post on everything in a few days. I was resting but after seeing all my coli emails I had to log in.
Thank you family
Bro im happy that you're good. Man its good to have you back.
And at the same time, your post has me worried because I have pins and screws in my back from my back surgery years ago.
I definitely can't catch this stuff because if it starts hitting me there, my life as I know it may be over
