It s been almost a year since Michael Reagan, 50, came down with COVID-19. I woke up first thing in the morning and I felt really hot and out of breath, he said, recalling the morning of March 22, 2020. I went into the bathroom trying to catch my breath, and I immediately coughed up blood into the sink. . I ended up in the hospital that day and tested positive for COVID.
Reagan said he spent two months in and out of the hospital last spring, with acute COVID-19.
But for as hard as that was, what he s been through since could be considered just as bad, if not worse: His current symptoms include constant pain in his chest, painful nerve pain in his hands and legs, seizures, tremors, and the loss of vision in one eye.
