In February, I had to purchase $1500 Paxlovid without insurance coverage to treat a COVID infection. Now Luna needs a dental with many extractions due to stomatitis: $74 exam, $179 pre-op lab tests, $176 dental + $25-80 per extraction. I've received $874 in donations so far for

Yesterday I went back to the hospital where I caught COVID to begin the process of evaluating my heart damage from the virus. I wore N95 and face shield. It is noted and flagged in my chart that I'm immune compromised and request that staff mask. The doctor was acting strangely.

I'm sick, too, Mr. President. While you have access to Paxlovid, Pemgarda, and treatments only available in research trials to treat your COVID, my insurance won't cover any more treatments. I've been testing positive since March 12. I tested positive again today. 127 days:

When the gov says "we have the tools" they mean they do, not the rest of the population. I caught COVID during a procedure at a hospital last week. My doctor wants me to take 10 days of paxlovid bc I'm immune deficient and have LC. Insurance approved 5 days and no more until 2/24

Until basic infection protocol is taught and implemented at medical facilities, the cycle of COVID infection leading to organ damage leading to further evaluation will never end. I had an endoscopy to evaluate anemia, caught COVID, had heart and possible lung damage, and now...

My mom's sick with a "not COVID" (1 negative test) cold, and my brother's family spent the morning in children's hospital ER. Their baby was having trouble breathing, diagnosed with RSV. One uncle is struggling to recover from sepsis and a gut infection, diagnosed with myasthenia

I'm expected to risk COVID again at the follow-up evaluation appointments: pulmonology, heart CT, heart echo, electrocardiology, stress test, and a return visit. Is it worth it? Will I receive answers and treatment? Or will I catch COVID again and repeat the cycle forever?

...infection control at medical facilities? Why would someone as intelligent as a doctor dance around the edges of a room to avoid infection transmission? Then he suggested pulmonology to evaluate my lung capacity, every bit as dangerous as the endoscopy that infected me.

There it is. Exactly as I suspected. The minute the airlines and flight schedules were impacted by the shutdown, the Dems caved. Our health insurance for their convenience, just as COVID precautions were sacrificed for Delta's comfort.

NEWS: Airlines whose profits were threatened by Trump’s flight reductions funneled huge cash to the Senate Democrats who voted to help the GOP end the shutdown without preventing huge cuts to Americans’ health care.

...appointment that I was paying for, I had to give my doctor permission to examine me. I had to tell him politely if he had COVID that he'd already given it to me in the time we'd been in that closed room. Was he afraid of me? How have we gotten to collective amnesia of basic...

...just in case, he wanted to be careful. He wasn't going to do a physical exam because he was afraid of giving me an infection. He seemed conscientious enough to care about protecting me, but had completely forgotten that masks exist. Because I'd waited weeks for this...

"Increased risk of other infections" is a soft way of saying COVID causes immune deficiency and dysfunction.

COVID-19 is not just a cold. While some may experience mild symptoms, the virus can lead to serious long-term health issues, including damage to the lungs, heart, and brain. Even those with mild cases may face lingering effects. Protect yourself and others by staying informed and

He came into my exam room unmasked, like everyone else. He didn't come near me; instead, he stayed in the corner or leaned on the counter. He finally explained that he was trying to avoid giving me germs, in case he had an infection. He didn't think he had an infection, but...

It took 7-10 years for people with HIV to develop AIDS. Those infected with SARS-COV2 can see immune system damage, including lymphocytopenia, in the first month. I am not advocating for calling the condition "airborne AIDS" as this article does, but acknowledging the acquired
