How long have you had post-covid?

Posted by eyja @eyja, Jan 25, 2023

I´m hopin that my son and I recover soon. Of course. We´ve had it for six months now.
How long have you had it?
Would love to hear from those who are still as ill, as well as those that have started recovering and those who have recovered.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 Support Group.

I was hospitalized for a week in November 2021 with Covid pneumonia. Almost all of my symptoms have gone away except the brain fog/dizziness. I have done physical therapy, seen an ENT, neurologist and worked with my family physician. No one in my area can answer why I’m still dealing with this unclear head. I am scheduled for an appointment with a neurologist at Northwestern in Chicago next week. Hoping they will provide some answers.
Praying we all find relief soon!!

Anticoagulant regimens are a promising way to address abnormal clotting159; in one study, resolution of symptoms was seen in all 24 patients receiving triple anticoagulant therapy31.

Apheresis has also shown promise to alleviate long COVID symptoms; it has been theorized to help remove microclots160 and has been shown to reduce autoantibodies in ME/CFS161. However, it is quite expensive, and its benefits are uncertain.
