Hi, @A MyCOPDTeam Member, lots of reports of folks like us - with the vaccines and without - surviving covid, along with the stories of immediate fatality and long-covid worsening of breathing problems.

It’s like anything else - a steep learning curve, and a crapshoot for knowing who will or won’t survive, or who might survive after excessive hospital expenses and financial ruin. Almost two years in, I really feel that we are better getting the shots and NOT getting it, but also that there’s still no certainty in a positive or negative outcome.

We just have to be practical about protecting ourselves, and accepting that - if we live long enough - something is going to get us. We might as well make sure every minute we’ve got is not be wasted worrying about what might happen.

Stop taking it and see what happens. If the diarrhea goes away, you have your answer. If not, it's something else.

Wow! You recovered from covid? Congrats!! That's an uplift for we COPD sufferers. I thought covid was a death sentence for folks like us. Thanks!!
