12:35 pm
posts to me. i dread to think anyone. this minivan has already become popular in kansas city amanda removes the back seat and loads up with food to deliver it to homeless people and cope 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 hannah ask why you. 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 start a small stroke a few months ago. she really worries she's a very good friend of mine. so.
12:36 pm
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 good consumer. 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 mayo doctor that's on the sick you know there. he looked at my scans and he was just like my god. 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
12:37 pm
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 still 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. ah. 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 your life around. make sense just pop some and we're good for a day cause i don't know how. to do maybe 5. but basically
12:38 pm
everything is in preparation for the next flare and then it passes and then prepare for the next one well. i have a lot i'm going to. actually look 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 down. 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
12:39 pm
well here is what i normally write. pair. very thick very healthy looking. actually didn't look my age 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 was a moderator no alliances day to run a website for. and teaches a mentor to cook pastor. randy going to the underground in the park and you can sure go out and you felt really proud of where you rested for. i never really fully . know or '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 than i think in the house was on fire
12:40 pm
you know and it was. bob straight here contains all of my daily meds. and i keep everything all on me. but as you can see it's for. someone asked me to a said you know how is it surviving you know after having quit in 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 website collects data from post holmes about the conditions when i'm reading about all of these things in that group of people blood clots and then you know they're having strokes or stock items of things we have over 200 items on our sometimes. and it's kind of scary to think gosh i hope none of this is
12:41 pm
going on i may but i don't know. jaimie. stuff or like absolutely crushed pills. and it's. 'd used to make me gag and sometimes. 'd 'd the 1st thing jamie novak tells us is what we should do if he posses 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 drop 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
12:42 pm
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 right days in hospital and for months on oxygen with chronic co-morbidities patients like jamie are known as high risk being there knowing that you're dying basically when you're fighting not to and knowing that you. don't know. where your family. my son was graduating 8th grade i was. i was so sick i didn't have the heart home i wasn't able to watch her generation 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
12:43 pm
and it wasn't for them basically i probably wouldn't be here. i was here's me basically scared bad i'm going to die here and my kids are going to see me to. become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people love demanding the shutdown of a local plant. is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous. power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limits 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 for just a marker caesar power lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real ways a struggle. so
12:44 pm
12:45 pm
jamie was determined to hold tight and keep going to the big she does it with the help of about 17 different takes. so this is cover a. seizure medication. this one here the little yellow one that's pantoprazole it's for the pretty much blocks the acid in that in your stomach when i 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 a family album so this is precocious of this is covered and then me now. 'd covert gave a shortness of breath between a loss and
12:46 pm
a rash it also took away her fiance. and has ruined all plans. february 29th i got engaged and i see my fiance maybe every other month or so. for a day or 2 and other than that 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 with 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
12:47 pm
insignificant. like basically if you die it's ok because you have chronic health issues big deal what difference where 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. right course elick yes. or all or most vital. force thought that it was time to change the wished to. yeah i will shoot 1st. if you. want to push. ringback mindy. so that's painful.
12:48 pm
to 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 a really good way to express myself i had so many people that were tell me i don't
12:49 pm
know how to do art i can't paint i can't do this and i shared them that you would be able to do acrylic pouring because really pouring is very very simple. 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't 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 a great walked on clouds but it is what she felt that was before he knew about the
12:50 pm
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 in 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. at all. i talked to multiple doctors at my doctor and they said we have
12:51 pm
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. 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 kids' 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 way it was a very rich but it was it was very special it was
12:52 pm
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 a believes 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 that can be treated effectively these days history may now repeat itself with coded long haul as well you know what you sense 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. somebody was just on you're going you lose it in the good was that what you must
12:53 pm
use what you did argue but don't know what you would do the most common from times that people are dealing with we have a we have extreme fatigue like it's just it's bedridden type fatigue 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 leg and instead of wegg something crazy comes out like what up. and it's like there's this disconnect in your brain. michael. one of the 1st things i noticed there was troubling after supposedly recovering from the cold so i started getting lost and found out and. i'd walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused as to how to get home michael reagan was a vascular surgeon but now only attends his own doctor's appointments most importantly he writes
12:54 pm
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. i wanted them to call 911. from that point on i was scared and in 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 sees stuff 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 i scared my dog to death. because he was looking at me like this and t. peed on the bed and he started barking at me and pi at me disorientation
12:55 pm
a bunch of plastic smell the taste of blue cheese and feeling as though he's been poisoned the new same stations 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 from the buyer s. and all the side effects of the medications i have to take you know. my experience
12:56 pm
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 swim 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 trimmers in my hand i haven't had the same motor skills as pre covais and.
12:57 pm
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. curse appointments. and this gives me something to keep motivated on the days when i feel like i'll i don't want to get out of bud i remember i have to keep pushing because 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 grateful i got to say it because i am very grateful for life like i said before i took it for granted we don't see what's right in front of us
12:58 pm
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 from the 1st one by god from one of the mobs in our group and i was still fair at the time this was back in october. she said dear amanda thank you for everything seen and unseen that you do look from teresa i love you teresa. i really like this when it rains look for rainbows when it starts looking for stars .
12:59 pm
