12:31 am
a good friend here who is also having problems as well so it was actually her idea she was like hey you should start one of your facebook. so that's a great idea i should do that and then i fell asleep for a month and then i did it. g. was at a standstill anyway amanda told herself and so she became a blogger and started a facebook group for people like the group this called coven 19 long hollers discussion group there are 10200 people and winter break now. that was started back in june i thought maybe i would find 50 people like me. i found a few more attend and 1000. now the days start and end with talking to other code long holos. yeah. yeah. yeah i get that i get that feeling i totally get that feeling
12:32 am
then discussions reveal a common topic see i don't tell them what's wrong and all you hear is you'll find you're just overanxious but it's an entirely different ballgame when you're navigating being a long haul or without a church you can't just go out and get every time. you play a lot of thing like i guess the physio care i guess i don't feel bad in this way so i guess things are on and that's really scary. it's really scary. scientists don't yet know which a post covered symptoms and which aren't says professor don of a of the institute for buying health innovation at george mason university. give it to us it's use in a girl like. the coastal little english chilled out old cold damp it looked to get a large it was known. must 1st be used also but it acts at last
12:33 am

12:34 am
to deliver it to homeless people and cope with long haul as today she's brought a tony for a family under lockdown it's lego with a father mother and 6 children she can't go in so she leaves her gift at the front door. hi hannah ask why you. later. some of the medical issues post but are so. so severe. that it's a distinct possibility that someone could have a heart attack or have a stroke. i'm not sure if they saw how to small stroke ok months ago. she really worries she's a very good friend of mine. so.
12:35 am
just like him and just 100 called kofi twice and even though she jokes some hell there's nothing funny about it next i did i was pretty cool. very very good consumer. and. started you know being known we know that it was in china at that point and 1117 was the case that i'm aware of the earliest for the chinese and i was actually hospitalized 11142019 with the exact same symptoms and it wasn't until i visited the mayor a doctor that's on the sick you know there. he looked at my scans and he was just like my god you had. so and that's kind of how i got where i am now. i've actually never gotten rid of the headache i've had since november of last year it just feels like an ice pick it's just going straight to the back of my head. since becoming you know she's had memory issues so now uses 3 systems reminders on
12:36 am
a phone a day planner and lots of stay because they're everywhere grocery lists reminders of when the children get home medical appointments shopping times and blue 100 lists. lists all my daily stuff or like things that are important to remember aside i survived. so yeah this is actually about my covert experience. writing it down and as i remember it. was life was changed completely so that she's always ready for the worst she cooks lots of meals for her 5 children in advance. learn to build your life around. make sense. just pop something and we're good for a day cause i don't know how. it may be 2 days maybe 5. but basically everything is in preparation for the next flare and then it passes and then prepare
12:37 am
for the next one well. i have a lot. of actually looked at me so badly that my dear fellow and the medications. actually here i can show you this is something that was pretty dramatic. show you my hair. was you look curious the day 1113 there. and found. this is throughout the day my hair just go out and this isn't counting all of the hair that fought around the house i vacuumed up and this is compacted it was actually a bigger ball until i. met here isn't limited to here. right where here is what i normally write. pair.
12:38 am
very thick very healthy looking. actually didn't look my. it was only a year ago the desert wanted to become a pilot she dreamed of flying a plane but would force her to give up on that dream there is a moderator no alliances day to run a. website for. and teaches a mentor to cook pastor. randy going to be honored to serve in the park and you can sure go are very proud of where you have rested for. i've never really fully read the word 'd taste i lost it initially. or i would know that something was burning there was 'd a time where i work my children up the middle of them i think in the house was on fire you know and it was. bob straight here contains my all of my daily meds. and i keep everything on me. but
12:39 am
as you can see it's for. someone asked me to you know how is it surviving you know after having kuwait and i think surviving is the easy part honestly i think living with the after effects is probably 10 times worse than . anything from the hospital because honestly i don't really remember a whole lot of. the web site collects data from post. conditions when i am reading about all of these things in the group of people blood clots and you know they're having strokes or stock items of things we have over 200 items on our something. and it's kind of scary to think gosh i hope none of this is going on i may but i don't know. jamie.
12:40 am
it's awful like absolutely a crush pill. and it's. 'd used to make me gag and sometimes. 'd 'd the 1st thing jamie knew that tells us is what we should do if he posses out during our into. if. you had you know put the gloves on you'd wipe off the area with. the alcohol then you would take the syringe out you would basically out of here you push this down shake it up and you would 'd put the syringe in there and you drop the medication from out of there into the syringe and once you have the syringe filled you push the air out and then you would have to literally inject it pretty much into my thigh. and then call 911. to me as a student nurse but this time she's one of the patients 'd in april she learned that she'd contracted a cove at 19. we get the results from the nurse practitioner called me herself usually they have the front desk people call and said i know mr novak i need to
12:41 am
apologize to you you have covered and i said really now ok you're joking you're right. days in hospital and 4 months on oxygen with chronic co-morbidities patients like jamie are known as high risk being there knowing in bad you're dying basically when you're fighting not to and knowing that you. don't know what you're in. for your family. and my son was graduating 8th grade while i was. i was so sick i didn't have the heart to tom i wasn't able to watch his courage in relation to even though it was on the line i was going to watch it with him i was too sick but i couldn't. let my daughter who helped take care of me both of them when i was sick i'm sure wasn't for them basically i probably wouldn't be here. i was here's me basically scared bad i'm going to die
12:42 am
12:43 am
medical and scientific establishment. so what's driving the obesity epidemic it's call for profit. as a covert loan holder jamie was determined to hold tight and keep going to the bitter end she does it with the help of about 17 different meds that she takes each day. so this is kyra that's a seizure medication. this one here the little yellow one. it's for the pretty much blocks the acid in that in your stomach when you take his own that's the steroid basically this one will help protect for that and then that's a low dose think and i'm just a supplement. and then this one is their tech. energy settlement these days long haul is show that x. rays electrocardiograms and lab test results as if they were pictures in
12:44 am
a family album so this is pretty covert of this is covered and then me now. 'd covert gave a shortness of breath between hair loss and a rash it also took away her fiance. it has ruined all plans. 'd february 29th i got engaged and i see my fiance maybe every other month or so. 'd for a day or 2 and other him that basically you know that's interrupted our relationship his kids i have not seen them in i ringback honestly don't remember the last time i've seen his kids we've been together for a long time so many years. it's pretty devastating to lose those relationships and not have that closeness or that support. when you need it but that also puts back all the other plans that i had are on hold my wedding and with basically i was
12:45 am
going to be you know buying a house. those changes made her reflect on the value of human life that's been lost in all the statistics about total deaths every day in the us alone. feel insignificant. right basically if you die it's ok because you have chronic hope issues big deal what difference where you making in the world what difference do you mean to me. british research is studying people who'd recovered from severe covert found that the disease caused a reduction of around 10 years in life expectancy with slight differences from men and women. focused on the. elec yet. or well it was quite. a less time to change the wished to. yeah i will shoot 1st. if you. want to push.
12:46 am
mindy. for the spin. you hear me popping everywhere busy. not so long ago mindy dougherty enjoyed painting in her basement dance studio it was how she expressed herself and relieve stress i used to teach classes where i learned to do acrylic pouring a couple years ago and decided to teach it to people because it was a very. different type of art that you get to do it is done it's like a fluid art if you will so with this type of art you use paint acrylic paint and you have a specific media that you use with it and so you mix colors and you get to draw it on a canvas and you can see create. some of the stuff is just. all on canvas
12:47 am
. and just really fun colors and i felt this was a really good way to express myself i had so many people that were tell me i don't know how to do art i can't paint i can't do this and i sure did them that you would be able to do acrylic pouring because really pouring is very very simple. cools the basement office study to work in and her shelter but it's been getting increasingly hard to take refuge there but i can see it with coke now i can even get my brain to wrap around doing some of that stuff for the marketing that you do to be able to get people to come your classes and then having to be prepared to present to people this was my place this was my place and and then now it's just. i can't use it anymore.
12:48 am
her hands get back. her husband said it was nonsense when she imagined she was a great walked on clouds but it is what she felt that was before he knew about the burning sensation in her nose as though breathing chemical fumes. homes. mindy fell ill on july the 2nd coughing pain an ambulance ride for days of delirium his heart. i'm just quiet aren't there anymore i'm glad i made it through because there are so many people that didn't. you know that's me with the navy. there's me and mario. you know spare me. she documented her covert journey online but of exactly how it went to the i to you specialist has no memory i don't remember taking selfies of myself and posting them to instagram or to facebook i don't remember
12:49 am
taking these pictures and this was at the hospital and. i don't look like me. at all. i talked to multiple doctors at my doctor and they said we have a feeling that you're going to have a hard time with recovery you're going to be one of those people that they consider a long haul or. a new reality. racing poles ringing in the constant anxiety welcome to long. i know the difference between regular anxiety and then this other thing that covert gave to me that i could not control it was having just crazy like panic attacks and i couldn't do anything and i couldn't get it to stop before she helped people have a good time wherever she went she run a small events business planning weddings festivals and so on in order to make a memory for them and that was really special to me to do like a kid's birthday party and they would walk in the room and they would be like this
12:50 am
is for me right and it was like you know that was the gratification that i felt and the happiness that i felt more than how much i was going to get paid which by the way it was a very rich but it was it was very special it was a special feeling and it was my passion and i'm really proud of the group that we've collected people who are along hollers people who are 1st line physicians or nurse practitioners treating. postcode patients we have research scientist people who are also moderators in our group who are making sure that we have good content that's getting. there are run of i believe that such social media patient groups will help medical research in the late 1900 similar groups helped introduce the term chronic fatigue syndrome for fibromyalgia which wasn't recognized before but can be treated effectively these days history may now repeat itself with coded loam whole as buy it since you're going to study them. only it will provide you with
12:51 am
concepts just exactly when you just just me and what. just what you just risk what's cool like if somebody was just on you're going you lose it in the car was that what you must use what should you did argue but don't know what you would do the most common from them that people are dealing with we have an extreme fatigue like it's just it's bedridden type fatigue brain fog is the big one where you're trying to think of a word maybe you're trying to think of the word wag and instead of wegg something crazy comes out like what a. and it's like there's this disconnect in your brain. michel . one of the 1st things i noticed there was troubling after supposedly recovering from the cold so i started getting lost and all that and. i'd walk 2 blocks away from the apartment
12:52 am
and i would get confused as to how to get home michael reagan was a vascular surgeon but now only attempts his own doctors' appointments most importantly he writes a note before leaving way he's going and why. this is the store the caesar and i had wolf. and luckily. grabbed him. and when he came to there was a group of people standing around. for one of them to call 911. from that point on i was scared to not my apartment unless i was accompanied by someone or unless i was going to a doctor or. sometimes now the left side of his face twitches his left eye see stuff wasn't black spots and his arms act on their own independent of his body. i had another solution and i remember looking at my hand and i couldn't control it
12:53 am
and i had won it like right in front of my dog and i think they're scared my dog to death. because. he was looking at me like this and he peed on the bed and he started barking at me and pawing at me disorientation a bunch of plastic smell the taste of blue cheese and feeling as though he's been poisoned the new same stations michael experienced off because of it but he is supported by his friends and family if i was on my own i would have died because i probably would have never been to the hospital and i would have died at home you know like several of my friends have. michael used to lead a healthy life with lots of sport cycling climbing and scuba diving but now everything has changed so this is my bike. this is mine. and as a result a covert it's no longer safe for me at the moment to ride my bike and also i don't have good motor skills for the brakes. i feel like i'm in the body of an 80
12:54 am
year old person now with all of these multiple health issues and all this damage from the buyers and all the side effects of the medications i have to change you know my experience is it nearly killed me and some days i wish it had killed because i feel like. a fan of late. i feel like my quality of life right now is some days it's not worth living. what i have found the helps me on the days that i feel like absolute 0 and i can't sleep and i'm so sick i have been a support groups that i know and i find someone else on there is having a worse state than myself. and they tell them they say something like keep your chin up. you know you're loved and supported here
12:55 am
you're not alone. this is my show because. trimmers in my hair and i happen to have the same motor skills as pre-code. basically no feeling from here to your capital her. to remind me. of why i'm going to start her supporting minutes. and this gives me something to keep motivated on the do this when i feel like. i don't want to get out of bud i remember i have to keep pushing because one day i want to practice which i will do. so it's going to take months but i have help i have little victories each day of the things that i can get down and if you know anything about me i am very determined person like i said don't ever tell me i can't do something because i'm going to prove you wrong because that's just that's
12:56 am
how i am so i am i am determined to get better. i never thought i would ever say this but i'm kind of grateful i got to say it because i am very grateful for life like i said before and i took it for granted we don't see what's right in front of us sometimes it for being negative and it takes something big like that to redirect your focus and your perspectives. so it's time for me i'm very grateful. my collection of community here my bedside with one of the 1st things i see when i wake up. one of the 1st one from one of the mobs in our group and i was still there at the time this was back in october. she said dear me and thank you for everything seen and unseen that you do that's from theresa i love you teresa. i really like this when it rains look for rainbows when it starts to look for stars
12:57 am
