I was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder as an adult, two and a half years ago. I was actually exposed to covid the day before Thanksgiving. I hadn't been anywhere prior to that for probably 2 weeks. Then my daughter picked me up and took me to their house to have Thanksgiving with them. My son-in-law got home on Tuesday evening before Thanksgiving from a week of being out of town for work. He had active covid at that time but none of us knew that. I started getting symptoms on that Friday, and then my daughter and 6-year-old granddaughter started getting symptoms on Saturday. We all did the home self tests on Sunday and everybody was positive. I was the only one that got the monocolonial antibody treatment because I was at high risk. My daughter's symptoms lasted about 6 days, and my granddaughter had very mild symptoms that lasted about 24 hours. Also my daughter had a kidney removed at the Mayo Clinic
in Arizona in April of last year.

I saw my doctor's PA on the 13th. She said all of my vitals were good at the time and the carbon dioxide levels were just a little bit out of range so she said that they can check again in about 6 weeks to see if the levels have changed. But I push the issue because I was told that sometimes with some people their levels can only be just a little bit out of range but should be something to be looked into further. Everybody's bodies are different and it is not a one size fits all type of thing. But she said since my vitals are good my oxygen was 97 that there is nothing to be concerned about. I told her well my oxygen levels just happened to be good at that point in time, but it is not 24 hours a day that my oxygen goes low so I told pressed the issue with my oxygen with her also, because that is intermittent and it just happened to be okay while I was in the office at that time. So she decided because I was being so adamant, that she would put the pulse oximeter on my finger and then walked with me for about 20-30 feet and my oxygen went down to 92 just in that short walk. So then she said they may have to put me on oxygen, but she wanted to talk to my doctor first. So I have not heard back from her yet. Oh, and she did not mention anything about pulmonary therapy or whatever you called that Lol.😊 I even get short of breath just singing a little bit in the congregation at church. But I am just too exhausted to even go back to church yet.
