    Thanks for asking.

    Appetite is better, as long as the food's spicy. She doesn't look as worn as before. Stairs and carrying packages remain a struggle with shortness of breath.

    She saw a pulmonologist (not a very good one, imo) who did a chest x-ray which was normal (as I would have expected). Her pulmonary function tests were almost normal. Her lung volumes were all normal and her ability to move air in and out was also normal.

    However her "diffusing capacity" is reduced. This measures the ability of the lung to move gas into the blood. This is consistent with a microvascular involvement and thickening of the alveolar/capillary membrane (a 1 cell thick layer between the blood vessels and the air sacs. I have no idea if this is a permanent thing, and, frankly at this late stage, I fear it might be.

    Work has not been affected, thank goodness.

    Thanks for asking.

        I'm sorry she's still having challenges. Awful stuff.

            The post from Jolyy about COVID and chronic fatigue made me make this post.

            @George-K How is your daughter doing?

              Remember when they told us "If you're vaccinated, you won't get COVID?"

              Remember when they told us "Natural immunity will protect you?"

              Yeah...

                  Yeah, it seems little if any resistance to the disease but allegedly fewer and less severe symptoms - sometimes. A friend's mother (80s) had Covid and the docs are saying that it accelerated (worsened?) her dementia dramatically. They said they've seen that a lot.

                    Electrophysiologist in town says his A-fib cases are up 20% since COVID.

                    Disease or vaccine? Or both? He'd love to know...

                      One way or another. The isolation of the Covid years really hastened my MIL's dementia.

                        I always felt/thought that vaccine and any natural immunity would help decrease the disease but not eliminate it.

                        I had COVID right at the beginning of the new year and I had somewhat recently had the booster. It was very mild - and the only reason I tested myself was because I had some meetings, etc. with lots of people. Tired for a couple of days, very low fever, but other than that, no problems.

                        Would have have been worse if I did not have the booster? Obviously impossible to say, but I am glad that I got the booster.

                            @taiwan_girl stable.

                            No worse, but no better. Foods require lots of spice to make them palatable. Still breathless on stairs.
