Dear @amandajro, Yes, I have a steamer, and it does help. Right now, the concern is when the Dexamethasone runs out. I was on it for one month...which is a long time to be on this powerful steroid. When the last pill ran out, my breathing became impossible. now, I am back on it for another few weeks, and the thought of it running out again is in the back of my mind. Is there anything that can help a person transition, besides tapering? I just found out that unless the hospital infuses a "Wham Pack" which is Remdesivir (a Covid drug) within 10-days of a Covid diagnosis, it does no good. Therefore, I am too late on that timeline. What is a person that can't get over the life-threatening, breathing issues suppose to do? Is this a slow death sentence? Obviously, a person can't stay on dexamethasone endlessly....Thank-you, for your inquiry, it is appreciated.

I would look for a Covid long-hauler practice near me. Someone at the nearest medical center with a Covid ICU can probably point you in the right direction. New strategies for managing long term symptoms are constantly emerging, and the practitioners are working closely with one another and many specialists to develop effective treatments.
