My Covid Story
A post shared by Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) on Jul 31, 2020 at 12:04 pm PDT
“It started with pain in the joints that I couldn't distinguish from my previous diagnoses. But the pain has been associated with devastating fatigue. Then at a fever of 39 degrees, and all of a sudden, my body ... revolted (...) it was as if I was a complex machine that had been disconnected and that I had been reconnected in the bad catches, ”she explained, adding that her ordeal lasted twenty-one days, and to the symptoms is added, of course, loneliness, difficult to bear.
Not finished
Today, while Lena Dunham is supposed to be cured for several months, certain symptoms continue to affect her daily life. And her doctors have no idea when she will be 100% recovered from the disease.
“The point is, the coronavirus is killing people. But it will also alter the bodies and experiences of so many infected people, in ways that are impossible to predict, ”she added, stressing the need to adhere to health recommendations.
“When you take the right steps to protect yourself and your neighbors, you save them a world of pain. You save them an ordeal that no one deserves to live, with millions of consequences that we do not imagine, ”concludes the star, who poses masked on the photo which illustrates his post.
