My family contracted COVID-19 in mid-summer of 2021. We fully recovered within 2 1/2 weeks and haven’t experienced any long-term symptoms, or what’s commonly referred to as long COVID. Others haven’t been as fortunate.
As of November, according to a report from the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, between 3 million and 10 million Americans are experiencing symptoms of long COVID, which can include fatigue, pain, brain fog, neurological issues, mobility issues, and shortness of breath. I’d like to share how we kicked COVID-19’s butt in the hope that our story brings encouragement to others.
