My husband has had GPA since 2010. He was hospitalised with Covid at the end of Nov & was in for two weeks. All the problems he had before have been exacerbated by Covid, his legs are to the point where he now has a mobility scooter and his breathing is so much worse. Just a small amount of effort needs a lot more sitting to recover.

If your oxygen Sat's are less than 92 you need to call 111!!!

I’m really sorry to hear that. Must be very scary. At least now they know so much more abt Covid and treatment. Hang on in there. May blessings come your way.

Wishing you a rapid recovery. As has been said above - so much more is being discovered daily, so hopefully new treatments will soon help. Bless you.
