a distinct possibility that someone could have a heart attack or have a stroke. i'm not sure if they saw how the small stroke a few months ago. she really worries she's a very good friend of mine. so. just like amanda does a 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 keystone 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
8:35 pm

8:39 pm
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 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. jaimie. like absolutely crushed pills. 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 the policies out during our into. you know. 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
8:40 pm
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 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 copd and i said really now ok you're joking you're 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.

8:43 pm
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 very real ways a struggle. as a covert long 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 it's 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 prednisone that's the steroid basically this one will hope pretext for that and then that's a low dose think and i'm just a supplement. and then this one is their tech. energy segment these days long haul
8:44 pm
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 covert gave a shortness of breath between hair loss and a rash it also took away her fiance. that 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 than that basically you know that's interrupting 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
8:45 pm
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 u.s. alone. feel insignificant. like 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 researchers studying people who'd 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 cochlea. elec yet. or well it was quite. a less than 10 years in the bush slate. yeah we should just.
8:46 pm
get. right to what you wish. you know ringback. mindy. that's been. in here 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 throw it
8:47 pm
on a canvas and you could 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 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'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
8:48 pm
now it's just. i can't use it anymore. her hands get back. husband said it was nonsense when she imagined she was a great ball 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 they made it through because there are so many people that didn't. you know that's me with the navy. there's the in mario. you know me me going. she documented her journey online but of exactly how it went to the i to you specialist who has no memory i don't remember taking
8:49 pm
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 talk to multiple doctors and 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 was. 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
8:50 pm
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 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 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
8:51 pm
lola's by the watch but since getting such a study. only it looked like it was a concept just exactly one yes just to me a more. risk which is just almost at risk what's cool like if somebody was just an addict and you lose it. was that what you must do you could argue that are what you and they're the most common sometimes that people are dealing with we have a clear of extreme fatigue like it's just it's bad written type fatigue brain fog is a big one where 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 if. it's like there's this disconnect in your brain. michel. one of the 1st things i noticed that was struggling after supposedly recovering. so i
8:52 pm
started getting lost and found out and. i walked 2 blocks away from her and i would get confused as to how to get. michael reagan was a vascular surgeon but now i mean attends his own doctor's appointments most importantly he writes a note before leaving way he's going and why. this is the store or the caesar and i had wolf. and luckily so no grab him. and when he came to there was a group of people standing around looking for one of them to call 911. from that point on i was scared to know my apartment unless i was accompanied by. or unless i was going to a doctor or. sometimes now the left side of his face twitches his left eye sees black spots and his arms act on their own independent of his body. or numbers
8:53 pm
and i remember looking at my hand and i couldn't control it and i had one like right in front of my dog and i think they're scared my dog. because he's looking at me like this and peed on the bed and he started barking at me and me disorientation 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
8:54 pm
how good 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 the standards from the buyer this 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 foe of late. i feel like my quality of life right now is some days it's not worth living. what i phoned the hopes for me on the days that i feel like absolute 0 and i can't sleep and i'm so sick i have to support groups that i know that and i find someone else on there was having a worse state than myself. and they told them say
8:55 pm
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 tremors in my hand i haven't had the same motor skills as pre-code. 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 risk isn't something to keep motivated on the days when i feel like. i don't want to get out of bud i remember i have to keep pushing because wonder i want to just reach a little bit. 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
8:56 pm
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 sick 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. and. this was a time for me i'm very grateful. my collection of community here my bedside with but one of the 1st things i see when i wake up. one from 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 from teresa i love you teresa. i really like this when
