i read a lot of frustration in these responses, as well as anger. i got covid pneumonia june 8 2021 and was hospitalized until august 1. i was sent home on antibiotics, steroids, nebulizers and inhalers. i was able to go home as opposed to a rehab center because i had bathrails and seat in shower as well as help during the day and night. even so i struggled with breathing until i started heart and lung rehab. the covid had damaged my heart, lungs, pancreas and liver. the heart and lung were the last to heal. i say this to remind you that covid attacks the viral organs and so you are dealing with just the lungs in recovery but the heart as well. so i went to 11 weeks of lung heart rehab and 11 weeks of physical therapy. i came off oxygen just last month after a year. i did not get vaccinated. however in my cohort in the hospital was evenly mixed between vaccinated and unvaccinated. in fact it seems that those who were vaccinated suffered the ventilator while the in vaccinated were able to get by on the high flow. my wonderful team at Orlando Health Dr Phillips hospital told me that had i come in 2020 instead of 2021 i would not have walked out. they gad a high death rate. but during a year they learned the right combination of drugs and treatment. thw treatment of covid is a real world learning experience and very few doctors have that experience. most doctors rejected patients with covid. so its no wonder they can not now treat recovery. i have found rehab, oxygen and rest to be more important than any medication. now, a year out i gave come to terms with slow but steady progress . patience is key and recognizing that your life is and maybe will always be alittle less active than before covid. but remember there is still a good life to live.
