Almost 7% of adults and 1% of kids have struggled with long Covid, survey finds
Estimates of the number of people in the US with lingering Covid-19 symptoms vary widely, but a new survey from the National Center for Health Statistics says the condition may have affected as many as 962,000 children and 17.9 million adults.

I don’t know for sure if I have long COVID, but it seems like I do. From what I remember, this didn’t start before I had COVID, but now that I’ve had it, I frequently wake up after being asleep for a short time, maybe half an hour, and cough my head off for about 10 minutes. Like really deep, loud coughs. Then I’m fine. Is that long COVID? I have no idea, but it seems like the timeline works out.
If you haven’t seen a medical provider about it, I suggest doing so. Sleep is important. This could be asthma, sleep apnea, GERD or a bunch of other things (long COVID among them). But if you can get a fix to it quickly, you’ll absolutely feel better.
My wife and I make a decent amount but when she went to have an opinion on wrist pain, we have no answers and after one test we have paid nearly 2 thousand dollars after copay. The doctor says we can try the next thing if we want. It’s fucking ridiculous. How can anyone afford Healthcare in the US?
