COVID-19 LONG-HAULERS
- Tammy got COVID-19 in June 2020.
- She is an elementary school teacher.
- When she caught it, she didn't feel well, but she certainly didn't feel terrible or hospitalization-worthy.
- Tammy was in good shape.
- She got it after going to an outdoor concert, or from the friend with whom she attended the concert.
- There were around 25 people at the event, and she did distance, typically.
- Of course, it's also possible one of them got it elsewhere, or something similar.
- At the time, she was at least relieved she had gotten it out of the way without a bad case... but she was wrong.
- Between June and August, after she had COVID-19, she felt okay.
- Then, in August, she had severe aches and pains and was absolutely exhausted.
- Her body felt like it was failing her with the fatigue and the like.
- Then, in August, she had severe aches and pains and was absolutely exhausted.
- For the whole year, she felt absolutely terrible -- foggy, pain, fatigue, and more. Her doctor told her a lot of people relapse like this.
- Nobody could help her -- essentially, they didn't have answers and sent her to a support group.
- The support group is helpful. There are 180,000 people in the Facebook group, and so many can't even get out of bed.
- Nobody could help her -- essentially, they didn't have answers and sent her to a support group.
