Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

Did she stop working during these two years? Pretty vulnerable working with the public. Did she ever get it? Did you. Sorry. I know a lot of people in here did get it. Can’t remember who?

Nope, still working. We don't have universal health insurance here in the USA you know
Without insurance her immune suppressing drugs would be about $60K-$75K a year. I don't know what insurance through the ACA exchange would be but I'm sure she would need the gold/platinum/whatever is highest plan to pay any part of that cost.

We don't go many places (not that she has time working 6 days a week and visiting her parents on Sunday) and potential exposure has been intentionally limited.

The PO still requires employees to wear masks in the office (she is a clerk). Masking requirements have been lifted most everywhere but the full care facility her Dad is in. But we wear masks in stores just the same since bringing it home isn't a good thing. Never know who might be a carrier. We don't wear masks in the house

They are sick (headaches, coughing sneezing, fatigue) because they are infected by the test. Otherwise it would just have been a 2 days cold.

Meaning their reaction to having a positive test was more psychosomatic than physical?

Had a pulmonary function test done today and more blood work. Really wish my doctor had told me that they lock you in a vacuum chamber. I freaked out and started crying so they had to cancel that portion. My doctor says that she thinks I had covid and it might have caused a blood clot in my lungs.

What is your O2 usually?

Was 99 today. Was 97 at my doctor appointment. First she says asthma, then copd, now blood clot. I'm beginning to wonder if nothing is wrong with me at all. They're milking the crap out of my insurance with all these tests. That test was really hard though. I have trouble breathing out my mouth and it was all that. The inhaler does seem to be helping. I'm not hacking anymore

97 is good for me. When I feel exhausted it's 93. When I was sick, with what I assume was covid Nov 2020, it was 90.
I have not gone to the Dr yet, hoping it heals itself.

Glad the inhaler is helping.
Prayers you find a solution soon

I hope so too. Thank you for the prayers. I'm just having a rough time right now. My father thinks I'm being a hypochondriac. My hubby thinks so too. I feel like I've got no one I can talk to about it

Tough when no one thinks you're sick.
Has the Dr had you do breathing exercises?
Breathe in slowly for a 6 count and hold for 6 count and out the same slowly

Oh my. That’s terrible.

I am sorry. I know people have thought that about me. I just feel things before they are bad enough to be diagnosed.

I should know something tomorrow. For now I am just waiting. Hubby is trying to be supportive but I think he's as sick of all this as I am.
