In Feb 2020, I went to New York for work. A month later, I could barely walk to the store across the street. Brain fog got progressively worse. It took me almost a year to start being able to walk minimally again and for the fog to clear. I still remember the day I woke up with mental clarity for the first time in 10 months. 3 years to fully walk long distances again with a rehab program.
It's #LongCovidAwarenessDay. I'm mostly functional now. A lot of people aren't. All the local long COVID specialist programs have had their funding dried up. I'm one of the lucky ones who got help, and got better enough to kinda sorta keep going.
What happens to the people who get long COVID now?
(This is a thread now.🧵)
