I got so sick last year I thought I was going to die. My face and my nails changed color and I couldn't lie down. I had to stay sitting up for over 2 weeks or I couldn't breath at all. My husband was away in the Army when I got sick. I couldn't leave my two kids home alone and I did have anyone to help take care of my animals. I even left a note of instructions for my oldest who was 9 at the time to call 911 if he couldn't wake me up. If it wasn't for my 9 year old I don't think I could got anything done. He helped feed my birds and helped me walk while I dragged 5 gallon buckets of water to my chickens (winter froze everything and the snow was at least 2ft). He helped cook for him and his little brother, he helped with the house and our dogs. He would even wake up in the middle of the night to make sure I was still breathing and awake. Both of my sons would check up on me every 15-30 minutes while I was stuck in bed during the day. Dragging a bucket of water out of my house twice a day would completely deplete my energy. By the time I would get back inside I would be in tears shaking trying to breath. It was the worst experience of my life and I feel so guilty that my children had to witness it all alone. It took me almost one year to recover. I lost so much hair that I had bald spots. I still get dizzy if I lay down or get up too fast, I have chronic fatigue, and brain fog.
I can walk without getting winded and dizzy now, my chest pressure and pain is finally gone, my hairs is growing back. My mental well-being and my children's mental well-being is still healing. My kids still panick if they think I'm sick. If I cough or do something and get of of breath they immediately ask if I'm ok. My youngest (7)even reverted back to acting like a toddler. I freeze in public if I hear someone cough. I won't go over to anyone's home if they are sick.
Me getting sick has hurt my family so much financially. We've been playing catch up on our bills for a while now, but we're still 2 months behind on our mortgage. We just got a pre-forclosure notice and I'm afraid we might loose our home and mini farm in the mountains. I'm only in my 30s, I never thought I would ever get sick like that and be in the position I'm in now. Covid ruined everything. My husband would have never signed up and left for the Army if Boeing hadn't laid him off due to covid. I will most likely have to work 2 jobs and so will my husband, to get caught up in time. I just hope my kids will understand why I will be home less.

Keep researching. The answer's out there someplace.
