“There are many other people like me who are living with rare diseases who also had COVID. Yet, there has been no research on COVID affecting people with disabilities and I Imagine there never will be. While this is upsetting, it’s the truth, we are always left out. One day we will turn this invisible community into the invincible community til then let’s respect the virus, wear your mask and be safe for not only yourself but for those around you.”

“I was a very healthy 46-year-old man. I don’t smoke. I don’t drink. I’m not overweight. I eat healthily. Suddenly, I couldn’t walk one mile without gasping for breath. I was on an inhaler. I had a high resting heart rate, numbness in my feet, pains in my chest and abdomen. I could only eat oatmeal or toast or I’d get massive acid reflux.”
