Ask HN: Long Term Covid-19 Complications

18 points

6 years ago

As someone who had a mild COVID-like illness in March, but never fully recovered (with the primary remaining symptom being body fatigue, sometimes post-nasal drip, and some tingling in the extremities, none of which are showing signs of improvement after 5 months), I want to survey the HN community about similar complications.

It seems like it isn't uncommon to have lingering COVID-like symptoms after testing negative for the live culture, with varying degrees of severity [0][1][2].

Please leave your story if you've had similar symptoms. I'm especially interested in how you've been treating it and if you've had any success.
