Nearly 20 months on from catching Covid, and 16 months from being diagnosed with Long Covid she's still got some residual problems. As I said to Hoop Leif, the main one is joint pain. It's constant, 24-7, pain in her neck, spine, hips, knees, ankles and wrists. They assume that the virus attacked the central nervous system, causing untold damage, and they've no idea when, or if, it will get better.
Fatigue is another issue, but nowhere near as bad as it was early last year. Sometimes issues with vision, but this may be tied to the fatigue. Thankfully no issues with breathlessness, which I know a lot of Long Covid patients suffer from.
They recently released a timetable to help diagnose Long Covid patients, they've obviously done a lot of research as at every milestone, the symptoms experienced by Mrs Steels tallied up with what the table says....only wish they'd had this info at the time so we wouldn't have been left wondering what the hell was going on when all her muscles started spasming or she couldn't even walk up the stairs.
They reckon there's over a million people suffering with Long Covid in the UK, so no matter whether were in pandemic or it's now endemic, there will be plenty of people still suffering.
