“As a retired family physician, I have been concerned to hear thatmany people seem to feel that once they have had Covid they are ‘done with it’”
Just seeing the title of the article in your magazine sent shudders down my spine and made my heart race.
I had a pretty mild case of Covid. Ten days later my nightmare began, and b’chasdei Hashem, ended eight months later. In the interim I saw 13 specialists and took at least as many medications. The strongest pain meds would not relieve the pain I endured. I had enough physical and emotional symptoms to take up this whole page. MRIs of my brain and spine and blood work all showed nothing. Finally, after eight months with the help of Hashem, the symptoms slowly dissipated.
To all those who are suffering, I wish you all a complete refuah sheleimah!

Thanks very much to Mishpacha and Barbara Bensoussan for the article on long COVID-19. As a retired family physician, I have been concerned to hear that many people seem to feel that once they have had Covid they are “done with it.” Recurrent infections do not seem to worry people because they tend to be mild and even those at high risk get through them well, due to availability of treatment during the first few days of symptoms.
