My friend, I'm sorry about your heart issues but we now have something in common because of covid. I fucking hate covid and what it is doing.
All you good people please watch yourselves very close because you do not want to go through what Zab and now I am going through. Covid just fucked up the rest of my life.
I'll lay it out and get it over with but please use this as a warning.
2 hours after my 07/04/23 12:37 AM to Newmedman I was in the emergency room. Like I said I've been treating the last 5 weeks like long covid and flu symptoms with all sorts of shit and not sleeping and dizzy/weak all the time. Basically zombie. I went in July 4th because I was passing out and major sweats and just got out today.
Seems covid fucked up my thyroid and made it go high, causing my heart to go into a heartrate of over 140 with the top part of the heart racing. Took them all week to lower my thyroid and my heart came back the other day fully. They said no long term damage, but my heart will take some time getting back into shape. They sent me home with 7 meds, some will run out if things stay correct. They're calling it covid onset Graves disease but words I can't even pronounce. Now I may not know whats going to happen with the thyroid but in about two months we'll will know if medicine direct can't control it, they will radiate and I'll still have meds the rest of my life. If there's anything positive it's not a death sentence and millions live with thyroid problems. A routine february lab work showed the thyroid normal. I can only wonder if I had gone in as soon as I felt sick again if it may have helped. No way of knowing.
I bring this up not for sympathy but to warn all of you because I care about you all to watch yourself very very closely. I breezed through covid itself and thought alright I made it and it's over. Apparently not. If you guys and gals have had covid pay attention for a long time.
I laid in the hospital going back and forth with fear and anger and now basically acceptance and hope the thyroid gets settled and nothing else pops up. I do have a chronic cough since march as well.
I'm going to be alright in a while. I can't comprehend what you Zab personally have been going through, but I sure can sympathize and relate now.
I fucking hate covid.
