Symptoms

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.

Really hoping for better news soon.

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.

Covid is not influenza. Completely different beast.

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.

Oh man. I hate to have you going through this.

Wishing for the best, George.

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.

@George-K Hugs to you and your family and daughter

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.

Tonight, this:

Anyone who says, "this is the flu" is stupid.

[Mik]

Jesus. I don't pray a lot, but I am for you and yours.

[Catseye3]

So sorry for this. I'm thinking of you both with concern.

[jon-nyc]

Wow. What Cats 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

God Bless her and heal her. There is nothing that weighs on the mind of parent like a sick child, no matter how young or old that child may be.

Hang in there, doc...

@George-K More hugs and positive thoughts

[kluurs]

Glad she’s got great parents in her corner. I’m sure that’s a comfort to her but hope she beats this down soon.
