Dunham described a plethora of COVID-19 side effects, including loss of 'sense of taste and smell,' sensitivity to sound, numb hands, inflammation of nerves, a 'hacking cough,' difficulty breathing, a 'pounding headache' and more.
Friday that she was diagnosed with COVID-19 in mid-March. Although she was"reluctant" to go public with her diagnosis, Dunham hopes detailing her"intense" experience with the virus will curb other's"carelessness."
"It started with achy joints, which I was unable to distinguish from my usual diagnoses, so I didn’t freak out," the actress wrote in a lengthy statement. "But the pain was soon joined by an impossible, crushing fatigue. Then, a fever of 102. Suddenly my body simply… revolted.
Dunham said she tested negative after a month and avoided hospitalization but her struggles did not end there. She said she still suffers from coronavirus complications and has since been diagnosed with "unceasing" migraines,"clinical adrenal insufficiency" after her pituitary gland nearly shut down and has been prescribed a"immune-modulator drug" to combat flared arthritis.
