Covid-19 Long Haulers Syndrome long term effects.

 Medical experts are beginning to identify some of the potential Covid-19 long-term health effects.

Both people who had severe symptoms from Covid-19 and those who experienced mild coronavirus symptoms can be Covid-19 long haulers or suffer post-Covid-19 syndrome. Some of the most serious health complications may include:

1. Lung problems. Many people experience respiratory issues while they are actively sick. However, evidence suggests that the pneumonia that often results from Covid-19 can damage the lung’s tiny air sacs (alveoli), leading to scar tissue and long-term breathing issues.

2. Heart problems. Heart problems, including heart inflammation, may be evident even months after a person is recovered from the virus. Heart failure and other cardiovascular issues are possible.

3. Neurological problems. Covid-19 can cause strokes, seizures, and Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Additionally, Covid-19 may increase a person’s risk of developing Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease.

4. Liver and kidney problems. Covid-19 makes blood clots more likely. If a person suffers blood clots in the liver or kidneys or if blood vessels weaken and leak, liver and kidney problems may occur.

5. Chronic fatigue syndrome. People with other viruses, such as SARS, have developed chronic fatigue syndrome. Researchers believe that Covid-19 may also result in chronic fatigue syndrome for some patients.

Psychiatric or mental health issues. Anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and mood changes may continue long after active virus symptoms go away.

Additionally, long-haulers may suffer:

-weight gain or weight loss

-Joint pain

-Muscle pain

-Headaches

-Loss of smell

-Loss of taste

-Fast heartbeats

-Sleep disturbances

-Memory problems

-Rashes

-Hair loss

-diabetes

We also do not know what other long-term health effects may develop. Long-term Covid-19 medical complications will be studied for many years to come, and new information will almost certainly be forthcoming.

Sample questions you may be asked at your social security hearing

  Every case is different; no list will contain EVERY question an administrative law judge might ask, and the questions may not be asked in exactly this way, or in this order, but this information should help prevent you from feeling like questions are coming at you from “left field.” Going over this list will also spur you to think about things you might not have previously considered (such as how long you can sit, stand, walk or concentrate). You will NOT be asked every single question on this list and it is NOT useful to try to memorize answers to the questions. Just read over the list in the days before your hearing. Of course, this list should NOT be construed as legal advice pertaining to your case, and by providing it, I am not acting as your lawyer. My intention is just to provide some really helpful, general information. I. INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION Name – address – date of birth Marital Status and maiden name Former spouse information Do you live in a house, apar...

Frequency of Medical Treatment

The frequency of your medical treatment is an important factor in your Social Security disability claim. A diagnosis is a first step, but a judge must evaluate your functional limitations due to your medical condition. And when evaluating the seriousness of your functional limitations, regular doctor visits are helpful. Looking at the cases of mine that were not granted in the past year or so, the lack of medical treatment played a role in almost every one. There a lots of reasons not to go to the doctor. There are co-pays. Sometimes there is little the doctor can do for you. Perhaps you do not want to complain to the doctor about your daily struggles. But without regular doctor visits, you may have an uphill battle for disability benefits. Also, the more the doctor sees you and is familiar with your condition, the more likely that the doctor will provide an opinion regarding your functional limitations. Those opinions are often the most persuasive medical evidence available to a perso...

Covid Long Haul and Social Security Disability

Social Security Disability is a federal program to assist individuals who suffer from long-term disabilities that will keep them from working for 12 months or longer. This program is funded through payroll taxes that everyone sees on their pay stubs.  Applying for SSDI as a COVID long-hauler is a bit of a complex topic at this point. Due to the associated symptoms of long COVID, it is reasonable to connect having the disease and qualifying for disability benefits. However, every case is individually considered by the Social Security Administration (SSA) before approval, and there are plenty of cases that are later approved after being initially denied.  Long COVID, or long-haul COVID, is a term to describe a syndrome where symptoms continue months after a coronavirus infection. Researchers think that 10% to 30% of patients who had COVID infections might suffer from long COVID, or "post-COVID syndrome," whether their initial illness was serious or not. Some researchers define ...
