Hello, I just was diagnosed with Covid Aug.25th, neg. home test, but positive PCR test. I knew I was sick, becase I was woken from a sound sleep by a screaming headache with a very sore throat. I have had all my vacinations and booster, but was considered high risk for Covid complications or death so I was given the monoclonal antibody infusion. My kidney function was too low to take the oral antiviral. I have more shoulder weakness than normal, which might be from coughing so hard for a couple of days. I think the worse thing that hasn’t gotten better, even though I rarely cough now, is my eyesight. I have no control over my eye muscles. My eye lids are droopy all the time and my double vision is awful. My eyes are very red and dry. I am only taking Mestinon and that is not helping at all. I head to Mayo next week and see their MG team. One additional thing I noticed every morning, while actively coughing I would wake up and feel like someone had me in a big bear hug. I had lots of tightness around my ribcage. I am still very short of breath and tired.
