In a lengthy Instagram post, 'Girls' mastermind Lena Dunham broke down her experience battling COVID-19 as a person who suffers from chronic illness.
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.”
After a month of self-isolating and routinely checking her oxygen levels on a pulse oximeter, she eventually tested negative despite lingering symptoms, including arthritis flare-ups, swollen hands and feet, fatigue and “an unceasing migraine.” “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.
“I know I am lucky; I have amazing friends and family, exceptional healthcare and a flexible job where I can ask for the support I need to perform. … BUT not everybody has such luck, and I am posting this because of those people. I wish I could hug them all.”
