I havent recieved the vaccines yet but I have had covid and I am still experiencing symptoms new and old. Im confused. Can't breathe, I have a cough, and can't get rid of it. I'm swelling up in the legs and feet and in the face. this has been going on for a year. All hospitals are completely overloaded here in springfield Missouri. I no longer have a doctor. I'm severely depressed. My youngest son is 27. Hes always been healthy up till 2019.He has cogestive heart failure. His heart is worn out. No one can tell me why. I don't really have much to look forward to actually. Im a christian and wont hurt myself but has crossed my mind. I wouldnt wish this on anyone. I pray alot. I really feel horrible for anyone who's had a more tragic life.

Does Mayo have a special program to help Long Haulers with their symptoms? The University of Utah Medical Center just started a program designed to help folks in your situation.

I am so sorry to hear you are still suffering symptoms for so long. I would lie to welcome you to Mayo Connect, a community of people living with a wide variety of diseases and conditions, who support each other along the way. We try to be informed medical consumers, and our own best advocates in our care. We are not medical professionals, so not able to provide medical advice. We can tell you what has worked for us (or not) and provide you with information and conversation about your questions.

If you want to read about how some people on Connect are dealing with "long haul" Covid, click this link: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/long-hauler/

Here is a link to a group called the Survivor Corps, which can help you find some help locally. Please do not be afraid because Covid is still active - it is important to get your own health under control: https://www.survivorcorps.com/

Here is some info from Mayo about long-term effects: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-long-term-effects/art-20490351

I think you need to find a doctor to address your ongoing symptoms. I know it is hard to look for a new doc, but it sounds like your son needs you, and you need to get help for you so you can help him. Do you have a friend or pastor who can help you to find a doctor?

Sue
