What It’s Like to Have Long COVID As a Kid
What It’s Like to Have Long COVID As a Kid

“CogIt started when my brain gave out on me in algebra class one January day in 2022. I couldn’t figure out a simple math problem; all I saw were numbers and symbols. My eyelids drooped, my head hurt, I could barely stay awake. Something wasn’t right. I hadn’t felt like myself since getting COVID-19 a couple weeks earlier. Simple tasks like reading a text or standing up were draining. But what happened in that classroom scared me. At age 14, my life became a state of constant exhaustion, punctuated by doctors’ visits that, months later, would lead to a Long COVID diagnosis.”

My 7 year old niece, who contracted Covid 4x during the last school year, no longer knows her cousin (my daughter) nor her Granddad.

“My 7 year old niece, who contracted Covid 4x during the last school year, no longer knows her cousin (my daughter) nor her Granddad.

A few days before her last infection she told my Mom how much she misses Granddad and how he would give her everything!

The week before her last infection she Facetime my daughter and I to recite her Bible verse for the week.

Then she got Covid, started losing things, has problems with word finding, and obvious memory loss.

This happened in May.

My SIL can’t get her in to see a Neurologist until November because all appointments are taken.

Is this the government AND the citizens of this country have decided is ok?”
