fantasy to see the end up. to see the oil i wish. secrets. starts december 26th. up. taking a look at the. many people who fell sick with corona virus in march or april are still not fully recovered test struggle shows how problematic this virus combining. the blue ridge trial or trial but as soon as i go to trust or for my body says no way. back in spring hardly anyone was thinking about long term health effects especially not for young patients who symptoms one mild. every week i think this can't be

happening it's just taking so long and i'd much rather be hiking up mountains like i normally do and some are. young adult is dealing with this still relatively unknown virus this reduces as the most difficult thing is we've only just started to understand the disease better it's like running in a race where the rules keep changing. this is the sure you can explain it in the alpine foothills of stuff in gemini it's a rehab in its haitian center specialized in palm and re disorders. the 31 year old america has been here for 3 weeks. she had coded 19 back in

march. this year as if this is much much harder for me now i've always been very sporty including cycling a lot and also my files mountain and racing bikes for miche time for the beach now i can only put out 70 or 80 watts it's crazy now gas af and c m i don't think it's way below my training level and i still have pain in my lower lungs when breathing and intervention but i find that maria was not in a high risk group and did not require hospital treatment for the virus but more than 5 months off to falling sick she's still not fit enough to work here at the clinic she's been working on have fitness every day in the hope to soon be able to return to her job as a doctor i don't have to shop and i need a certain level of physical fitness to do my job because i don't just sit at

a desk a few cup i have a lot of tasks that are quite physical life changing the bandages on big ones are running back and forth all day from the emergency room to the ward and fast many more as i'm in the operating room i'm standing for 8 hours a day holding some things to an aunt or stitching a wounded. man maria think she probably got case at 19 at work in the hospital. in fact from the very beginning my lungs hurt him and i got him monium and personally thought and so don't want to influence him come it completely bypass my nose and throat area that you normally think are so key i probably inhaled the virus directly as direct and have yet i was wiped out like never before or a moment when i finally got the strength to get out of bed i'd put some music play in a goal but then have to go back to bed before i even got to read it it was an extreme exhaustion like i have never. ever had the for. benefits and so we're going to do

a 6 minute walking test the aim is to walk as far as you can in the time alloted. a tweak self-defeating sick maria went back to work even with pain medication she only managed 9 days in july she tried again when the increased pain levels and exhaustion returned she applied to come here. to the style breathless where you while walking past have between 5 and 6 did you manage the 720 metres so you've increased from 671-2720 metres into the air and that i could it was actually the technique of walking that was the limiting factor rather than being out of breath the ottomans. the head of the pulmonology department professor rem but could surely says maria isn't an isolated case patients who are young and fit with no

preexisting conditions and requiring no hospital treatment because it can still experience health problems months after contracting the virus. there's enough. we can see from the number of people seeking help but that there are more patients suffering from post coping problems than we thought even just a few months ago. and it's not just the classic older patients like we initially saw in the statistics. there are young people whose lives have suddenly been turned upside down for example because they're not fit enough to work with. every patient that arrives at the shared clinic suffering from aftereffects of 19 undergoes a detailed examination to understand this virus early doctors from different fields of medicine need to work together. since i think it's important to be honest at this point. and to say that we're in

a learning process let's assume through the large amount of new data that we're getting every day here we can learn more about this virus. we try to pass on our findings to others to the fore and a lot of this data still needs to be checked. and. don't have a particular treatment strategy and the classic sense because we don't have years of experience to draw the court with treatment recommendations from the last go but outbreak we're learning as we go as we care for these patients were discovering what kinds of problems the virus can produce. and. by now doctors know that 19 affects multiple organs. from lung problems to hair loss to sleep disorders to teagan neurological disorders. then critical illness paula neuropathy heart problems the problem and plus issues resulting from

the treatment and intensive care. we're seeing a multitude of problems and the list is growing and. i don't think we would have expected such a variety of issues it. talks about that maria has now moved on to the next examination. the aim is to test how her lungs and other organs perform under physical exertion she has one more week at the clinic here in this area. the was. in the german capital has 80000 cases of 19 since the start of the pandemic of those around 80 percent have recovered officially but christopher not all of them fully restored to house.

thank you. but when i go i really have to catch my breath of course it's tiring. i've never been like this before that is actually. what if i could go up the stairs and could go straight back down and up again now climbing stairs is the next thing whenever i have to walk uphill i get out of breath. 19. members of the family in fact. if. we don't really know how we got it we were in austria and were not into role where it was bad we came back on march 1st and my oldest daughter went back to kindergarten for 7 days a virus was in the news but not big yet. at the beginning of march most people

didn't see the virus as a major threat all the start of a global pandemic so christopher didn't take his symptoms too seriously. my oldest daughter had started kindergarten the previous summer and since then i've had a permanent cold so i was used to having cold symptoms that i'm. on holiday in austria i still felt fine. then we came back and i developed a sore throat and a bit of a coffee nothing serious i didn't have a temperature neither did my partner. or the children had a slight temperature but that's not unusual children often do it was all relatively unproblematic. once the quarantine period was over they were considered officially recovered and were allowed to leave the house again but one month later. and his partner developed new symptoms. it was quite

a long time before we realized that what we were experiencing was linked to cope at 19 i have allergies i didn't make the start of the allergy season i suddenly started getting short of breath which i never had before. i usually took an anti-histamine. i had these few problems but nothing special about them so i thought well biology. they've gotten worse but i didn't link it to covert 19. going out on the balcony because i felt i had to get some fresh air and i'd bend over to catch my breath. and have that about every 2 days. but then it rained and normally that would mean all of my allergy problems disappear. but i still got it and that's when i knew something was wrong with some parts the. it wasn't my fault. so christopher went to a general practitioner. but he wasn't really able to help.

before the doctor did like my symptoms are covered 19 but they weren't life threatening and not that major. was my fitness levels matched my body weight. but christopher has also recently developed an underactive thyroid which has caused him to put on a lot of weight 17 kilos to date it's not yet clear whether coves age can affect the thyroid gland. in the past christopher ran in the marathon but there's no way he could manage that right now. christopher's partner. also experienced problems after having cave at 19 but her symptoms are quite different. is us when i felt dizzy and it just wouldn't stop what if i went to pick up my daughter romy and everything would just spin and spin

a. fight i was afraid that it might never stop that this could be the new normal for me i have just had thoughts of. after 4 months dizziness finally tapered off it's now known that covert 19 was triggered neurological issues. christopher is hoping that his breathing difficulties also disappear in time. international studies show that the lungs and heart can indeed recover from the virus given time a test shows maria's lung function is now back to normal 5 months after she caught the virus. make it right on the one hand i feel good because i'm getting lots of therapy here but on the other i keep thinking what will it be like after the therapy and i talk when i go back to work tomorrow. or. if i

am all the year and how will things progress with this illness or will there always be issues or will i get back to the same level of fitness and quality of life that i had before. maria was lucky to get a place here waiting lists for patients with post kovac problems. this year in clinical and has a huge number of patients waiting for treatment. time here has now come to an end. in terms of fitness or the tiredness levels for teak have you noticed any change but we've talked and have that may have changed but i probably won't know until i get back to work and see whether i can cope better with unaided. or if i'm still is tired yes i did wish to have an awesome. brought about the chest pains. half and that

the pain is better when i have therapy the whole time and i noticed over the weekend where there is less going on or when i had physio wednesday last week back and then the next time on tuesday that the pain in the base of my lungs returned fine but i feel there's a we're seeing patients who have symptoms some of which we can't really explain. and so we're trying to find answers and treatments of it's like a black box. and whenever i can't explain and convey something in a way that's well founded it leaves a sense of uncertainty i freely admit that. the author effects of the virus again in increasing attention in $1000.00 research at the end of october gemini's university medical center shows to be harsh 9 launched

the largest study to date on the long term effects of coronavirus. professor thomas bamma and a diverse team of doctors are examining 2000 film a case with 1000 patients in germany who were no younger positive and are listed in the statistics as recovered and. open for me we certainly know more than we did back in february march or april it's because now the phase is beginning where we can start to understand the after effects of the virus or under 5 years but the question is how do you define an after effect if i can see it we now have 6 months worth of after effects but of course a virus like. 19 could cause symptoms that don't appear within 6 months. you might have long term effects that emerge after 5 or 10 years senior. bush did.

this study is focusing on the. kidneys and liver as well as the nervous system and metabolism. and delay is tonight one of the things taking part back in march he was here in intensive care and in an artificial coma for 7 days when he heard about the study he applied immediately. for drugs issued i hope it means that i'm now being monitored so that if there are any after effects they can respond come november it's only of lots of people take part that we can gather information that can then be available for others. professor obama and his team are also examining post patients who didn't require hospital treatment they don't tis fear that even patients who had mild symptoms could still suffer long term damage.

a wide range of symptoms that we as doctors are confronted with where we need to differentiate carefully bus come under what can be attributed to the virus that may have been directly caused by it. and where do we need to exercise caution and not just put everything down to corona we need to continue doing our work thoroughly as before taking covert 19 into account but top. of the mix so the next thing we'll examine is your liver the study also looks at what the damage to their lives can result directly from being infected with the virus this reduces as we near a conqueror got in the most difficult thing is we've only just started to understand the disease better it's like running in a race where the rules keep changing where some of our findings from $34.00 or 5 months ago already need to be re-evaluated. noise. that's a very important process and it's moving very fast. i don't think we've ever had an

l. ness where there's been such an enormous increase in knowledge in such a short time norman business who works. as part of the study the subjects will be monitored for up to 10 years that's the only way to collect data on possible long term effects. and tongue out. the study is also monitoring the subjects sense of taste and smell many patients report an impairment or even complete loss of the senses. so we're trying to draw expertise from all medical fields bringing in all the various disciplines that we now know to be relevant to them so that in the end we get scientific knowledge. on the patient and assessment from different medical specialists from. this.

well over a 1000000 people in germany have now recovered from the corona virus writer nina my read skiing is one of them after a short holiday in valencia she started to show typical covert symptoms that was in mid march but the test centers and her doctor refused to give her a test so she paid for one her self the result positive. by april she was no longer positive months later she still didn't feel well crying because it was distressing psychologically does my hair started falling out if i started very slowly that i was more here than usual in my brush and in the shower and over breakfast one day my husband said you've got hair all over your shoulders as i felt like i was falling apart. she has also suffered heart palpitations and

chronic fatigue her doctor did not link these new symptoms with her previous kovac 19 infection after completing her time in corinth she started writing about what she'd been through on facebook at the time she didn't know that she would have more symptoms to deal with later triangle had a mild case i was only in hospital briefly didn't need a ventilator and didn't have pneumonia when i posted a photo of my positive corona test and wrote about how it felt to have the virus i realise that many people felt a real need to know more about this illness. people started writing to me because they were experiencing the same things they were sick of but weren't getting help or were seeking advice on how and i discovered that many were feeling very very helpless. she also wrote online about her experiences with later symptoms nina and other covert long haul is talk regularly on social media.

one man who is taking part in a medical study abroad and told me that he and his wife have both sustained damage to the heart talk it's in the paper again today what a study by scientists at the university hospital frankfurt shows alarming findings on the impact of the corona virus on the heart the virus can cause serious damage to the heart thankfully it's no slowly coming to light it's scary but i'm glad that the media are now finally reporting on how dangerous this really is. nina mirecki has found new friends through the articles she's posted online angela cullen from ireland is also struggling with the phantom's long after having 19. she was a singer before she got sick but still. this is it was all for helen too and. she'll say oh i've got this or that i cannot think of how god i've got that to the . know how it's getting better with us all as well as i so it's been

a great supporter i stick up. hard to get an anchor but when you need someone else who has the same illness and understands what you're going through. angela is also suffering from her team something many postcodes did suffer as complain of how and why the virus leads to chronic fatigue it's still unclear are you tired all the time too yeah but i have this tiredness that comes really suddenly. asked too often do you get that too that you feel super and then suddenly you get a day where you can't do anything at all yeah yeah but after 5 months i don't get that as much thankfully. i have and yes but when you get it it's like a flashback of how you start to panic that you're getting sick again that while you know you definitely feel afraid it's not to be underestimated i was in great shape i never thought something like this would happen to me it all happened so fast. i

felt like i'd been hit by a steamroller within hours i was unable to move for. the 2 women find it hard to understand how some people can make light of the virus. revision and factor we know that we need to take it seriously because we both know how awful it is awful and i have lost contact with some people a bit who just roll their eyes. or even friendships and because some people don't recognize the danger. and think these public restrictions are the problem not the virus. angela misses her family back in ireland she hasn't stepped on a plane since the start of the pandemic even though she now has antibodies she's too afraid of getting reinfected. fear can be so debilitating. it doesn't help you get better not at all you need to be careful and stay informed

but you can't eliminate everything. back in but. it's now mid september and has to have bligh feels he still can't breathe very well it's now been 6 months since he had the virus. the next week you're welcome to teach but in the last 4 weeks i've really struggled at times i've got some days i wasn't able to do any sport at all times enough so often some nights i will come up unable to breathe i want to drop him. off the cliff my chest felt really tight and i couldn't get enough air to the roof because surely. it's better again now but only since 3 days. you're asked that i talk. says an insurance broker so he can do his job even with symptoms but his condition is causing him psychological stress. from your son's matsumoto i'm going to the

doctor because it's just not getting better because i kept thinking i'm improving but i'm not. is a lung specialist he's treated more than 30 postcode patients in recent months. many of them were not in a high risk group just like christopher. just feels like i'm not getting enough oxygen i don't know what i should do that. i just don't know what to do this for this month or does he. know for being unable to breathe properly is scary people with those problems always try to take things easy. and if that continues and you always have that uncertainty you stop pushing yourself and don't build back up your previous training happens and your body suffers as a result. to me. as long as i could breathe through my nose it was ok.

once i couldn't it went downhill rapidly. i think. it. was sort of moderate is what you whatever a fact this virus had on you and your long son alveoli during the acute phase and most acute phase i can't see any deficits anymore as regards the exchange of oxygen and c o 2 there was this i want to know diffusion impairment as we say. it's very important to show that there's no serious physical impairment so that's good that's just because faith needs to be restored your confidence in your own body that's what that's the most important thing that does this office throughout the world you're going to this is. not just. the insinuation but it's why it's just us but it's a really release because i now know that there's no damage that's been left by the virus i'll get together to extract out what he already indicated he doesn't think

it's going to be a problem so i can get back to normal constables be. unlike christopher maria is still not doing well. since returning from the clinic and she goes out to the forest as often as she can to go walking and to build up her fitness. what if on the clinic certified me unfit to work i definitely still couldn't do a physical job which is what my career requires members. i'm supposed to do 24 hour shifts as well where i have to cover the entire hospital how if there's an emergency if someone needs to be resuscitated i get an alarm on my phone and have to run over my head and i'm then responsible for recess the taping the person that i just couldn't physically do that right now and. she is managing to work but only for a maximum of 7 hours a day and it's mostly office work behind the desk. it's been it's you and i i've

been sick now. for more than 6 months i really can't be bothered with it anymore i just wanted to be over you know to thought ok this is where i am right now and i just have to make the best of it. was. new studies on the after effects of cold feet 19 and now appearing almost daily for people like maria who is struggling with the symptoms many questions remain in iraq of just 6 months christopher bligh has recumbent his next goal is to run another american e was plagued.
