After a month of self-isolating and routinely checking her oxygen levels on a pulse oximeter, Lena Dunham says she eventually tested negative despite lingering symptoms. Photo: Filepicmastermind Lena Dunham has shared her"Covid Story" in a lengthy Instagram post detailing her experience battling the virus as someone who suffers from chronic illness.
"Seeing the carelessness with which so many in the United States are treating social distancing... I feel compelled to be honest about the impact this illness has had on me, in the hopes that personal stories allow us to see the humanity in what can feel like abstract situations," she wrote."Suddenly my body simply... revolted. The nerves in my feet burned and muscles wouldn't seem to do their job. My hands were numb. I couldn't tolerate loud noises.
While sick with the respiratory illness, Dunham said she benefited from"regular guidance" and"hands-on attention" from her doctor –"a privilege that is far too unusual in our broken healthcare system." "Even as a chronically ill person, I had never felt this way," she continued."To be clear, I did NOT have these particular issues before I got sick with this virus and doctors don't yet know enough to tell me why exactly my body responded this way or what my recovery will look like.
