Disease - cured patients still suffer the consequences of COVID-19, these are the signs they show

As the pandemic turns year, doctors are monitoring COVID patients who still suffer the effects of the disease. They continue to experience symptoms, although months have passed after the immediate effects of the virus.

Michael Reagan was infected with COVID-19 early spring. By May, he thought the worst had passed.

But in June he was still bleeding when he coughed, having trouble breathing, shaking his hands, fainting at times, and his heart beating rapidly.

Moreover, she could not recover her taste and smell.

“I smell like shit. I feel like something burns all the time. I smell smoke. I often get up at night and run through the apartment to check on what's burning. And there's nothing”, He says.

Mr. Reagan is classified by doctors among patients who were never completely cured of the harmful effects of COVIDD-19.

And he's not alone. There are thousands of others who suffer from the same syndrome.

Mr. Reagan and a long-term group of patients created an online group and even a meeting with representatives of the World Health Organization.

“One factor is that people get their disease back. They look like they're getting better, but then they get worse; symptoms come back, and often new symptoms ~x0>Says Hannah Davis, of the Scientific Citizens Research Group.

Today scientists agree that COVIED-19 is a disease in the system; it affects various human organs, including the brain and the nervous system.

A recent study published by neurologist Igor Coralnik found that about a third of the patients who survived COVID had modifications of brain functions. The symptoms were from disorientation to fall into a coma. And these were shown to light-shaped patients of COVID, even those who had no symptoms.

“It takes some time for people to pass the initial symptoms of breathing. Next they have an interval without a symptom, and then they show these continuing neurological consequences”- Says Mr. Coralnik.

The problem of these long - term patients is growing, and special clinics are opening up throughout the United States to help such ones.

At a clinic in Seattle, Amy Compton-Phillips The doctor who treated the first patient with COVID in the United States is trying to learn more about this category of patients.

“We're conducting a great study with the group of scientists citizens, trying to figure out what the symptoms are, what they've experienced since the diagnosis. We're trying to figure out whether long-term patients are 35%, 10% or 75%. We don't know, but we're trying hard to learn”, she says.

Michael Reagan also hopes to have an answer soon. Like many other long - term patients, it still cannot work. The most I can do is take a short walk with his dog.
