I’m being interviewed by NBC Chicago on long Covid this week. Help
NBC Chicago is doing some segments recognizing the five year “anniversary” of Covid. One segment is on long Covid. The Principal Director of the RECOVER studies Dr. Nirav Shah will speak of his research and I was asked to be interviewed as a participant.
I’m going and will publicly disclose my medical issues to bring awareness to long covid. Are there short comments I should consider mentioning about life with long Covid?
They will probably edit it down to fit their story, but I’d like to answer questions with all your long Covid experiences in mind.
I speak again with the PR person tomorrow for more info.
Thanks.

Thank you for participating and sharing your experience. One issue for me is that any hospitals that have post Covid clinics do no appear to be covered by insurance. Since this disease often has very serious consequences relating to employment and income this is something that should be addressed with the medical community and insurance companies.
How did your interview go? I missed it as we were in Mexico, but wondering if you learned anything new? I lost my taste/smell with Covid in December of 2022. I have also had 7 Stellate Ganglion Block Injections and it’s March 17, 2025 and I still don’t have it back. It did however, help with my anxiety.
Looking forward to your response.
