    George, I'm so sorry she's still struggling with this. Her posts sound so much like my experience last February. It's almost identical. The coughing will create significant pain, because it's usually a very hard cough, almost gut wrenching. That could be adding to her pain issues. That cough ... it can hurt like heck.

    I hope she gets her chest checked. I wish I had done that, but I was so miserable that I didn't want to go anywhere, and COVID wasn't really talked about yet then. If she's able to go, she should. If she's not able, then she really should.

    She may have an inhaler prescribed, and it may seem like too little of a product to combat this, until after a few days of use. If that's what is prescribed, encourage her to at least try it. I was very skeptical, but it helped.

      That is scary stuff, but it sounds like she is dealing with it well.

          It took my sister-in-law months to bounce back.

          It's not the flu. People who have not seen it in their family or who have not experienced it, simply do not understand.

            That was tough to read George. I'm so sorry your family is going through this.

                She describes her symptoms so objectively, very cool and collected.

                Blood clots. I have not heard of this as being related to Covid. Is this a side effect of some medication, or is there a reason the virus would cause blood clots? If Covid is a unique variant of a flu virus, I don't remember ever hearing about blood clots occurring during a flu experience.

                I hope to hear some good news soon. I know we all do.

                    Go back and read some threads containing George's thoughts on the disease.

                    Vascular problems are a major component.

                      George, it's very scary to have a kiddo going through this. Yes, her case sounds like one that will take weeks to get through. It's awful and very debilitating. I sincerely hope she doesn't get further complications, and having the baseline is a good thing.

                      Thank you for sharing this online. It helps people to get a better understanding of how different this virus is from the flu., and how scary it can be even for a younger person.

                      Best wishes to her and to you.

                              George, I didn't mean to sound negative. She's doing things right and taking care of herself, and she's staying in contact with her doctors and you. Even though it's going to take longer than she might have thought, she'll get through this. She's young enough to have the resilience of youth. It's amazing how much faster a person recovers at her age compared to ours.

                                  She had a televisit with her doc yesterday. He said that she should expect another 7-10 days of cough, etc. Fatigue will last longer, he said.

                                          Papa John's Pizza puts an Italian pepperoncino pepper in every box

                                          I don't like them

                                          But if they get on the pizza you can't eat that piece because it tastes like the stupid pepper

                                          Not as bad as the covid pickles, but the same idea
