(5,164 posts)Over a year since covid pneumonia and I still have back & rib pain and worse asthma, fatigue. No clinics here though. This week was bad, I am using my rescue inhaler sometimes more than 2-3x a day but when I add in the steroid it gives me a sore throat and worse reflux, I already have had that problem for years with steroids. I am having hair loss too. After another hospital stay my father is being put on oxygen now at home.
