Thanks CLKD and Hurdity.
CLKD- I did join a support group. At the start only a couple of hundred members, now over 20,000 including a fair few medics. They reckon about 1 in 10 go on to suffer this long tail version and an awful lot are females in their 40s and beyond. Having said that, there are a fair few men and one of the most striking things is the number of young fit active people who’ve been struck down.
So, with the research papers, medics in the group etc ido know quite a lot about it. More than some of the medical professionals it seems.
Like everything else,it very much is a postcode lottery. Post Covid clinics are beginning to be set up but so far, the Scottish government are only looking at the evidence. They are aware that it’s an issue but so far, nothing much in the way of support has been forthcoming.
There is quite a bit more out there about it in the news and it’s true that most people who get it recover fully ( like my husband) but believe me, it’s not been good contracting a novel virus early in a pandemic. I wonder if I’ll ever be the same again.
Hurdity- thanks for that. Been taking it orally for quite a while now. Think I’ll take the upcoming dose vaginally to see if this makes a difference. Glad you are doing ok.
Bye bye For now x
