medical experts say they've recovered, but many continue to suffer from the effects of the disease before the virus they were fit and healthy. just a little so i didn't really think that the virus posed a threat to me personally. the stomach, i should have the highly going down clinic is located in northern germany on the baltic sea 40 patients suffering from long term complications because of cold 1000 are being treated here. peggy grain is 48 years old and contracted the virus in march. she barely noticed the illness as she had so few symptoms. she's only begun to suffer from the effects of the disease recently. 50 cars that have them but only became really ill months later in june, bending money out at the time, i thought that everything would eventually be fine, but things didn't improve as

a whole. i was extremely ill for many, many weeks, which turned into months one and i never got better yet come give easily. and this is what unleashed besa located directly by the water surrounded by salty sea, near the clinic in highland dam, is one of 3 in germany. that treats people with corona related diseases. peggy grain is still struggling with the aftermath of the illness. some torn my primaries, some terms of physical weakness and total exhaustion. body aches and desire has been that i've had this for a very long time. extreme dizziness and poor concentration, and in some cases i have cognitive difficulties. fast and i experienced put hearing poor vision, and i couldn't follow conversations. well,

father not see greed, straub is 49 years old. her diagnosis was particularly severe. she barely survived a 3 week coma. i being unable to recall anything of this period in her life is particularly distressing for her. i wish tom what is it that i'm just by the fact that i was so seriously ill? and when i woke up from the coma, i had to realize i'm lucky, i was to be a life and living. and i said, i feel so different from before the illness. because my muscles a week from lying down for such a long time was a little tough. it's taking

a lot of effort to rebuild my whole musculature. it's an assault to move on me because i thought i also won last time and especially i was many postcode patients say that doctors aren't taking their symptoms seriously. they're suffering from stigmatize ation. peggy green has also experienced this several times. this is very difficult for doctors to understand when they look at me. i look healthy physically, i'm reasonably strong piece type history. and then you get dismissed very quickly. they say her mind is not ok. dr. your does from hold is the chief physicians in the rehabilitation clinic. she's

actually a specialist in pulmonary diseases, but she knows that many patients suffer for more than that on their desk cloth as offensive and good. and they want to make that i think a doctor from the hold with c. grade regularly to discuss her progress. and i guess i'll start as they talk about how secret is responding to various forms of exercise and therapies, as well as how she's adjusting to medication and changes in her sleeping pattern is much actual polls has fluctuated while she was on an exercise machine. but at the moment it's nothing to be too concerned about. that sounds modest actually, and it helps to remember that compared to the rest of the world, germany already has a very capable rehab system. we have more treatments available to us, but the facilities that we have here don't exist in other european countries or the

rest of the world. we can do high quality medically selland rehabilitation. the most important thing is to recognize the rehab needs of our patients. and to match them to the appropriate treatments, 22 that we have at the moment. see greed is on a small dose of medication that appears to be working well for her. and thankfully her mental health is also improving. once again, as he does, she tells dr from hold that one of the major attractions of the clinic was that patients can meet to discuss how they're all progressing, after living with the long term affects of the disease. conversations like these are validating because patients can understand and empathize with one another in secret. finds it extremely beneficial as if that's what is focused on

patients have gathered for another session to talk about their experiences. just go through it. it's intense after 2 and a half weeks. i feel like i can breathe more deeply. and this has anyone ever explained why it is so difficult for people like us to do things like go up the steps or uphill, particularly when it comes to going up the steps. for my part, he had 3 months to a path, explained it to me. when your pastor is relaxed, the whole chest area is compressed. so you only breathe in certain areas and not everything. and we slowly have to learn the correct posture to breathe. go for it. i mean, i'm getting better at going up the stairs. i used to have to take a break on the 2nd floor. i live in the 3rd floor,

and now i can get there without taking a crack at a snail's pace. but so what if i have a view of you hearing and cognitive abilities affected? that's not so good. really. i bet my husband's birthday cake during the summer with only half of the required ingredients talks, but it will matter to me. i wondered why the cake didn't rise. there was nothing in it, maybe half of what was needed, and i'm very experienced. i bake cakes every weekend of my let's just an example. i've also been experiencing extreme bouts of dizziness and i've had vertigo. for months i was even dizzy in bed. i think i will have to accept that there will be ups and downs for a while on our journey is far from over. i'm

not afraid, but i still have this question in my head. will ever be the same again? this is shawn, it's always there or this is. so that's my greatest wish to become more mentally stable again. gets a few more things to this is where i inhale. i ingest the sale and solution for 10 minutes almost every day and it loosens the mucous membranes in the respiratory tract, which makes it easier to cough up when i'm done. it feels like tearing my throat that breaks up the mucus more easily, so to speak. it feels good. so it sounds to the patients families are not allowed to visit the clinic for hygenic reasons. so secret straub calls her family

regularly. only her daughter is home today. sigrid tells her about the agenda for the week. aquatic exercises, breathing exercises and functional training. she learns that the weather is nice on the baltic sea, but back at home, life continues as it normally would hear her daughter's father result riding his bicycle. see greeds kids are going to school and preparing for their exams. while they wait for their mother to get better despite being in the best of care, it's difficult being away from home. peggy grain has been in highly going down for 2 weeks. her therapy will last for 3 more. her goal to be able to get back to her daily life again.

you live your life 5 days that work weekend and so on for days to come and my life might be more intense than it was before. this assessment on the one hand, i would like it to be like it was before after and on the other hand, the world is just falling apart because of the pandemic right now. the kind of the moment life is dramatically different for everyone. and maybe i can still manage to get a lot done, but i am sure that my recovery will allow me to my mother's and i think i will be a different person than i was before. but that's ok. the only way it went because the my view on life has changed a lot because of this terrible illness. a near death experience changes your perspective a loss and makes you appreciate the simple things in life would be friends. i,

family and friends are very, very important. and so is healthy, it may sound mundane to others, but stay healthy amount of that goes on when you've been so close to death, you learn to appreciate life in a completely different level on it and you begin to value the importance of family and friends, even more you want to understand it well with us, i believe that i will carry around this year's experiences with me forever. and i can imagine i could just forget something like this. but i hope that these negative experiences which are still weighing heavily on me, will fade with time and eventually that more positive things will replace them with the time i am still alive and i'm still here and i can still enjoy life again. thanks. thanks
