Dealing with long COVID and COVID pneumonia
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: Sep 8, 2023 | Replies (15)Comment receiving replies
So far as a newcomer, I haven’t seen any information about covid pneumonia. I was diagnosed at the end of Jan’22. Hospitalized for 5 days receiving covid infusion. At age 79, I still am on oxygen and told it could be permanent. I have an appointment at Mayo Rochester in October to see if anything more can be done.

I'll be very interested to hear what you learn at your upcoming appointment at Mayo Clinic. Do you have to fly to Mayo or will you be driving?

I was also in the hospital with Covid pneumonia. For one week in November 2021. I was sent home with oxygen and fortunately was able to quit using the oxygen after a week. I am 57 years old. Still dealing with dizziness and tightness in my upper body and left side. Keeping you in my thoughts and hope you find relief soon!
