A 33-year-old woman says she’s been suffering awful coronavirus symptoms for six months and says it’s “ruined her life”
Stephanie, from London, says her symptoms began in mid-March when she started experiencing loss of taste and smell, body aches, headaches, a fever, shivering, hot and cold sweats, and sickness.
But six months later she still has had no sense of taste and smell, she suffers brain fog and chronic fatigue and says just walking across her flat leaves her chest feeling tight.
The photographer, who lives alone, says she sleeps for 10-12 hours but is still always tired. “I’m only 33,” she said.
Stephanie wants to raise awareness of ‘long Covid’ and says more research needs to be done on how to treat the long-term effects of the disease.
She said she’s scared she’ll ‘never be the same again’.
