Close to despair, she found a clinic that specializes in treating people with what have been called post-COVID-19, or long-term COVID-19, symptoms.

Located in Heiligendamm, a north German seaside spa popular since the late 18th century, the clinic specializes in helping people with lung diseases such as asthma, chronic bronchitis and cancer.

But Frommhold also treats a second group of patients who experienced mild to medium COVID-19 symptoms, and only spent a short time in the hospital, if at all.

Most are aged between 18 to 50 and have no pre-existing conditions, she said. “They’re the ones that are usually never ill.”

Much more at link. Article begins with story about a nurse. Shares what the brain fog is like.

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.

It is over a month since my last Pfizer shot. Unfortunately it has not helped my symptoms at all, I was hoping it would when I read about that.

It seems to be turning into our worst nightmare. What happened to me is nothing compared to what has happened to my father his health has been totally destroyed by it.
