My daughter is a healthy 21yr old woman, who has rarely been ill during her life time. Had, apart from her ongoing milk allergy a very healthy childhood. She is a key worker and has caught this virus at work.
She lives with her partner over 400 miles away from us, and this i expect is one of the reasons i am so stressed at this time. as I cant jump in car and see her.
Her first 2 weeks with virus wasnt so bad, and she made a brief up turn in health before things dropping down. She has had all symptoms, and constant chest pain with times of breathlessness. Which so far she has got over using at first her boyfriends blue relief inhaler. Gp has prescribed a weeks worth of antibiotics, but they didnt do anything, so doc has concluded the virus is still doing its thing. Her whole body is covered in a eczema/hive type rash, apart from the palms of her hands and bottom of feet. So is using some prescription eczema stuff to control that, and this week that, at least is getting better. The main issue is her chest, and that we are in week 6 with no clear signs of improvement. she sleeps sitting up at night, as thats when her chest seems worse. I am deeply twitchy and stressed, and find it hard to sleep, or do sleep with nightmares. During the day have done some mad sorting out of house, but obviously in lockdown am fast running out of stuff to do. I just needed to post this to get it in proportion in my head and try and relax. Am sure many are going through the same thing.
