4:30 am
back with more for you and often. i. think this is a 3rd of ministration i've been down the shaft for going on 12 years anyway you know big zaman $22026.00 team was dollars station. and now it's all coming to. taste awful like absolutely awful 1st game code then a 2nd wave is coming now the virus is mutating and walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused as to holiday gifts not. meanwhile patients who've recovered from covert started to report some unusual aftereffects the
4:31 am
symptoms were different but. my hearing has been ok i think. one of the things like research is all over the world are trying to determine the many takes pains and other problems and then turn it all into numbers showing my hair. to be 1113 there this is throughout the day my hair just. various sources reports that couvade didn't just leave for 35 percent of recovered patients. so. the push. there have been many complaints of feral vision loss joint pain and fatigue in the us these patients are referred to as post coded long holos i talked to multiple doctors in my doctor and they said we have a feeling that you're going to have a hard time in recovery you're going to be one of those people that they consider a long haul or.
4:32 am
amanda. maybe i will go somewhere. never mind i mean. just amanda finley has lost her driving confidence i have not driven my car much in the last 3 months. i've just been sacked. it looks like someone took some glancing around and then put it in your lawn. and i had it on both sides of the. house to me is contracting corona virus twice in spring and autumn is want to lift it with home tissues like turkey candia rushes in vision impairment in her left eye i still do have some postcode and sometimes the big one is fatigue i do take a medication that helps with otherwise i would be asleep right now. without it and
4:33 am
then when i heard from one of my best friends that their sister was also still having problems and then a friend in alabama said hey i've got a good friend here who is also having problems as well so i was actually her idea she was like hey you should start one of your based. so that's a good idea i should do that and then i fell asleep for a month and then i did it. was a standstill anyway i meant to told herself so she became a blogger and still to deface both groups of people like the group is called coven 19 long hollers discussion group there are 10200 people in winter break now. it was started back in june i thought maybe i would find 50 people like me. i found a few more a tent and 1000. now the days start and end with talking to other vid long holders . yeah. yeah.
4:34 am
yeah i get that i get that feeling i totally get that feeling 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 not 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 guessing right i guess for for their care i guess i don't feel bad in this way so i guess things are fine and that's really scary. truly scary. scientists don't yet know which a postcode with symptoms and which aren't says professor but on of a of the institute for by a health innovation at george mason university it. was just you see a girl late. thirty's the coastal little english church an old old
4:35 am
cold damp but i looked again now i didn't use the last known. yet last birthday used also but it acts at last a lot again used to say it when you update your mostly wouldn't you look would you most when you could you not you just picked up just the paramedics it doubles tallest. of them actually my favorite dr and that the city i love the back road that goes up to my own apartment. with 10000 people in the group i try to. i don't really get to know as many of them like you. and i do worry about them and i we did we did lose someone last month. it wasn't someone i interacted with. but i just dread the day that. someone her history.
4:36 am
i dread losing anyone. this minivan has already become popular in kansas city amanda remove the back seat and loads up with food to deliver it to homeless people and cove with long haul as today she's brought a toy 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 hammer i love you. later. some of the medical issue is posed. 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 start a small stroke a few months ago. she really worries she's a very good friend of mine. so.
4:37 am
just like him and just 100 called kofi twice and even though she jokes some hell there's nothing funny about it the next try to die was pretty cool. very very very insecure. and they. started you know being known we know that it was in china at that point and 1117 was the case of 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 have. 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
4:38 am
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 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 laundry lists . my daily stuff or like things that are important to remember so i survived. so yeah this is actually about my experience. writing it down and as i remember it. was life has changed completely so the cheese always ready for the worst she cooks lots of meals for her 5 children in advance. learn to build a life. that makes sense. i can just pop some and we're good for a day cause i don't know how. it may be 2 days maybe 5 days but basically
4:39 am
everything is in preparation for the next flare and then it passes and then prepare for the next one well. maybe. i have a longer. actually looked at me so badly that my dear fellow in 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. smashed up my here's a limit to here. right
4:40 am
what here is what i normally write. pair. very thick very healthy looking. actually didn't look my age it was only a year ago that desert wanted to become a pilot she dreamed of flying a plane but. to give up on that dream there is a moderator know she an alliance is day to run a website for. and teaches a mentor to cook pastor. randy i love you the honor to govern the heart and you can surely go are very proud of where you have rested for. i've never really fully regained the word 'd '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's right here contains
4:41 am
my all of my daily meds. and i keep everything i want. but as you can see it's for. someone asked me they said you know how is it surviving you know after having kuwait and it's like 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 holmes about the conditions when i'm reading about all of these things in the group of people blood clots and you know they're having strokes or stock kinds 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
4:42 am
i may but i don't know. jaimie. stuff. like absolutely nothing to crush pills. and it's. 'd used to make me gag and sometimes. ready ready. 'd the 1st thing jami nova tells us is what we should do if she passes out during our interview. you had you know put the gloves on you 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 in april she learned that
4:43 am
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 need to apologize to you you have covered and i said really now you're joking. in hospital and former. patients like jamie are known as high risk being. bad you're. not too. good. for your family. i was so sick i didn't. i wasn't able to watch. i was going to. both
4:44 am
4:45 am
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. seizure medication. this one here the little yellow one. it's for the pretty much blocks the acid in that in your stomach when i take. 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 a family album so this is pretty covert of this is covered and then me now. 'd
4:46 am
covert gave a shortness of breath between a loss and a rash it also took away her fiance. it has ruined all of lambs. '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 matt basically you know that's interrupted our relationship his kids i have not seen them in i 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 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
4:47 am
insignificant. like basically if you die it's ok because you have chronic hope issues big deal what difference were you making in the world what difference do you mean to me. british researchers studying people who've recovered from severe kovac found that the disease caused a reduction of around 10 years in life expectancy with slight differences from men and women. focused on the balcony of. course elick yet. or won't it most vital. that it was time to change the wished to. yeah i will shoot 1st. you're. going to want to push. ringback mindy.
4:48 am
didn't hear me popping everywhere. 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 . and just really fun colors and i felt this was
4:49 am
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 assured them that you would be able to do acrylic pouring because really pouring is very very simple. basement office study to work in and has 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. her hands get back. her husband said it was nonsense when she imagined she was
4:50 am
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 and why would 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 me going. she documented her 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 taking these pictures and this was at the hospital and. i don't look like me.
4:51 am
at all. i talk to multiple doctors and my doctor and they said we have a feeling that you're going to have a hard time at recovery you're going to be one of those people that they consider a long haul or. a new reality. for. 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 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 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
4:52 am
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 out. there are run of i believe that such social media patient groups will help medical research in the late 1000 hundreds 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 long haul as well you know what you since you're going to study them. only it will provide you with concepts just exactly when you're just just it to me and what. just what you just risk what's cool like if somebody was just on
4:53 am
you're going you lose it in the case was that what you must use what you did argue but don't know what you'll do the most common sometimes that people are dealing with we have a we have extreme fatigue like it does it it's bedridden type the brain fog is a big one where or 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 up. and it's like there's this disconnect in your brain. michel. one of the 1st things i noticed there was struggling after supposedly recovering from the cold so i started getting lost for that and. i'd walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused as to how to get home michael reagan was
4:54 am
a vascular surgeon but now only attends his own doctor's 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. him. and when they came to. there was a group of people standing around. for one of them to call 911. from that point on i was scared and my apartment unless i was accompanied by someone or unless i was going to a doctor. sometimes now the left side of his face twitches his left i see stars and black spots and his arms act on their own independent of his body. had another solution and i remember looking at my hand and i couldn't control it and i had won it like right in front of my dog and i think they're scared my dog to death.
4:55 am
because he was looking at me like this and teen peed on the bed and he started barking at me and pi at me disorientation a bunch of plastic smell the taste of blue cheese and feeling as though he's been poisoned the new sensations michael experienced. 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 once of ospital and i would have died at home you know like several of my friends. 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 how could motor skills for the brakes. i feel like i'm in the body of an 80 year old person now with all of these multiple health issues and all this damage
4:56 am
from the buyer s. and all the side effects of the medications i have to cheat 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 phoned the hopes on the days that i feel like absolute hell and i can't sleep and i'm so sick i have to support groups that i know and i find someone else on there was having a worse state than myself. and they told them say something like keep your chin up. you know you're loved and supported here you're not alone. this is my cello because of the
4:57 am
tremors in my hand i haven't had the same motor skills as pre covais and. i have basically no feeling from here to here as i've kept it on the wall here. to remind me. of why i'm going to start. kearse appointments. and this has been something to keep motivated on the duties for. i don't want to get out of bud i remember i have to keep pushing between his one day here i want to just reach over again. so it's going to take months but i have hope i have little victories each day of the things that i can get done 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 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
4:58 am
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 up for being negative and it takes something big like that to redirect your focus and your perspectives. this was a time for me i'm very grateful. for my collection of community here my bedside with one of the 1st things i see when i wake up. one from the 1st one by god from one of the mobs in our group and i was still there at the time this was back in october. she said dear amanda thank you for everything seen and unseen that you do not from theresa i love you teresa. i really like this when it rains look for rainbows when it starts look for stars.
4:59 am
nuclear power become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people are demanding the shutdown of a local plant for my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous. power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limit this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is or powerline with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real ways our struggle.
5:00 am
