if you& #39;ve been wondering why i& #39;ve been shitposting even more than usual, openly full of rage, and showing my real face for longer than five minutes, it& #39;s because i got suspected covid-19 
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤠" title="Cowboy hat face" aria-label="Emoji: Cowboy hat face"> and i have asthma and it got real bad.. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤠" title="Cowboy hat face" aria-label="Emoji: Cowboy hat face">. but i& #39;m ok now. yee haw.
i got sick on the 22nd and diagnosed on the 23rd via video chat. i& #39;m pretty sure i got sick because the starbucks at 195 broadway stayed open way past when they should have and my friend/roommate works there. we both got sick around the 22nd.
when i thought i might die, around the 26th, i was so angry because starbucks& #39; greed would have fucking killed me. but i& #39;m still here!! and i& #39;m still very angry!!
i& #39;m gonna talk about my untreated asthma now because it& #39;s a related issue. my covid was mild?? i mean it was AWFUL but i think it was mild. and i could not breathe. i& #39;ve been asthmatic since age 8 but didn& #39;t get diagnosed til 14.
i was incorrectly diagnosed with exercise induced asthma at that time and given albuterol, which has never worked. but no doctor has ever given me anything else. i have been un and underinsured my entire life. the past year the asthma got worse. last summer when the weather
changed, i had asthma attacks constantly, i thought i was going to die. i did not go to the emergency room because 1) i cannot afford it 2) i have medical trauma from the dozens of times i have been told point blank i am a liar, that i want a hotel, all sorts of bullshit
again i have never been able to get a doctor to treat me seriously on this issue. but i am going to fight until i get the maintenance inhalers i clearly need because this experience has taught me that asthma might be what fucking kills me. and i& #39;m not going out that way
there& #39;s at least one other thread going over the symptoms that person had and my experience is pretty similar so i& #39;m going to mostly focus on inequities that nearly got me killed. because i am not the only one in this situation and there are people in way worse situations
i have another doctor& #39;s appt (that is a whole nother story on how hard it was to get) in about an hour so i need to go prepare for that but i have more to say and will add to this thread later.
