EDIT: I forgot to mention that I also experienced nausea. I was the only one in my family that did and it didn’t come on until maybe my 2nd or 3rd day.
Did anyone else have issues struggling with post-COVID brain fog? I’ve experienced post-partum brain fog but COVID fog was very different and a bit more severe. Thank you all for the kind words and support this last year. It has meant so much to me and I deeply, deeply appreciate it.
Yes. I got severe COVID in April and I still have brain fog and insomnia. I’m so glad you all recovered and that you are sharing your story
I haven't had _COVID_ brain fog, but I have had brain fog before, and all I can say is that I am so proud of you for muscling through that because it is absolutely terrible. I'm glad you and your family are doing better, and nobody had any fatal symptoms.
No, but about the eczema, you should be careful with the treatment. I haven't experienced it personally but I heard a story about somebody who had eczema too, and she had this treatment which in the beginning worked fine for her, but over time her body got used to it, so it took more and more of the ?stuff? she put on to calm the eczema, until it just didn't work at all. Then when she stopped using it, her body was so used to the treatment that her eczema became even worse. I don't know how often this happens to eczema patients but I thought I'd just warn you early. Good luck!
@@Emma-yt8gu yeah i have heard that too- i think a LOT of research needs to be done before you choose a treatment (although this should be the doctors job, but sadly in a lot of cases poeple dont get told the right info)
Thankfully I haven’t gotten COVID but at first I was scared you know I get very easily like when I don’t get my flu shot I’m sick the next day. It was scary for so long it still is I wash my hands very often and clean my phone
My cousin's friend was pregnant when she got covid and she ended up passing away because of it and they lost the baby. Her family was previously anti-maskers but as soon as their daughter died, they made a complete 180. Its sad that in order for people to understand how dangerous this virus is, a tragedy has to occur...
I’m so sorry for your loss! That is just awful!
That’s heartbreaking
Jesus...I'm so sorry for your loss, man. 😢💔 Wishing you well.
@@Mia-sl6vb it is and the scary part was, at the begining of the pandemic, I found out I was pregnant, and I was considered a high risk pregnancy because my baby was expected to be premature. Thankfully we never had the virus (to our knowledge) but it was still scary. I cant imagine how terrified that poor girl was in her final moments of realizing "if I die, so will my baby". I never knew her personally, but I pray she and her little one are in Heaven and safe in Paradise. 😢
@@hellbunni7957 Jesus, man...that poor mom. I'm thankful, at least, you got out alright. Somebody I knew was pregnant and also tested positive. She and the baby got out without any complications but still - it was scary as hell, man. 😰😰😰
it's awful! My whole family had it and I lost my father and now I'm traumatized and can't even go outside without having a panic attack
I'm so sorry, stranger. I hope u will find peace and can cope with this grief later in life. There is always a light in the end of the tunnel. Keep fighting!
Thank you! i hope we can grow through the pain. your words mean a lot
@@TheMaYsSA2 you're welcome! Warm hugs to you and your family.
im so sorry for your loss
I lost my grandfather and yes it is traumatizing
I love you, stranger.
❤
Im so, so sorry for your loss. I know how awful it can be to lose a loved one. I wish you the best. ❤
"If you're an anti-masker, you can get the f*ck off my channel."
*WE STAN THAT STATEMENT*
Yup 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So proud when she said it!
they won't be missed 🥰
The title sounds really concerning, I myself has had my closest friends and family members having it... Stay safe, guys!
Same
My whole family had it too. It wasn't serious, but it was extremely exhausting...
My cousin's dad side of her family all have COVID from a housemaid. Her grandfather passed away and her grandmother recovered but has no idea that her husband's no more 😥
I lost a lot of family members, my uncle was the closest to me to die, i still miss him a lot, my depression got worse after his death
I cant stand hearing people who haven't had it say "oh its not that bad... its just like the flu" NO. NO its not! My mom was diagnosed with covid in the beginning of September and is a long hauler which means she's no longer contagious & she tests negative now BUT she hasn't recovered. She still feels ALL of the symptoms she started with and the doctors have NO IDEA when or even IF she'll fully recover. Its definitely not like the regular flu.
The flu is pretty bad too, most of the confusion is from people using the world "flu" interchangeably with the common cold :/
I am so sorry about your mum!!! All the well wishes in the word for her I hope she'll be better soon!
I think it effects everyone differently. I got chills and had a fever the first night but after that i was just mostly tired. It lasted about a week and luckily it wasnt that bad. Also weirdly, my breastfeeding baby never got sick and i was fully expecting him to. So weird!
It's not just people who haven't had it. I know some people who had barely any symptoms, felt fine and with no lasting effects.
It can be mild but we just have to remember that that's best case scenario.
EXACTLY my mom got covid when it was first being spread through the world she was sick for MONTHS she hasnt got a test yet unforteounatly but now she has breathing problems and her lungs are really sensitive which htey never used to be its just overall impacted her physical health really badly and now it seems shes always sick so people should really take it seriously e.e
@@Lemu_with_a_shirt yeah that's what mine and my fam’s was like, really mild
I lost a good friend a few days ago thanks to covid. He was in his 60s and one of the best friends i could have ever hoped to have.
To hear that some people are still saying that its a hox hurts my soul.
They're lucky that they dont say it to my face because id give them facial reconstructions.
I’m so sorry your lost your friend, that must be really difficult. Send my love your way!
I am so sorry for your loss 💔 I lost my best friend when she was 63 and ill never forget how terrible I felt when people would dismissively say, "OH, she was old..." LIKE NO she was taken away from us with so much life left!! And she deserves life!! And I deserve my best friend to be there for me! So I am so sorry you experienced this ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so sorry for your loss, I hope you can find peace.
@@amandamapes6763 I'm sorry you had to experience the pain that comes from losing someone you truly love.
I’m so mad at this kid at work but I can’t do anything
just a reminder y’all, you can still carry the virus even after the two weeks. many jobs are requiring you to test negative before going back to work bc of this. my aunt carried it for almost a month & wouldnt test negative
Very true. I got sick 2 months ago (not with covid, with something else) I thought I got better but then I realised that things can stay on you for a long time. So I got sick 3 more times in the space of 1 month, it was not fun
mhm, true. one of my friends tested positive for it back in late February, and he's staying at home until he's 100% CERTAIN that he's clear of it.
i wish more people would realize this! people start going out after two weeks and spread it more
My hospital stated that a person is no longer contagious 10 days after the first symptoms, no longer have fever and are recovering from the illness. People who still test positive may carry the dead virus but are no longer contagious. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with being caution, just wanted to share what my hospital told me.
@@TheAthazagoraphobic ohh thanks for sharing. i was just saying that the whole “two week quarantine” doesnt apply to everyone but that’s what’s been said everywhere
No one really talks about symptoms in small children as well as “long Covid” or “Covid Fog”. Thank you for sharing. I hope this can help some people. I’m so sorry this happened to your family, especially your young ones. I’m so happy everyone ended up coming out alright.
♥️♥️♥️
my only real life friend has is currently struggling with long covid, the poor thing can barely walk or speak, she’s off of school and has been since we got back to school. (She came in maybe 5 or 6 days, but each time had to go home an hour into the school day)
she’s still not back, and I haven’t been in touch with her recently, but long covid seems really painful and tough, I hope anyone who has it is okay.
Covid is so strange that it can cause four different set of symptoms in four different people.
It’s so weird. I managed to avoid all respiratory symptoms which as a disabled asthmatic person probably saved my life, while my friend who has no underlying conditions was almost hospitalized. Really REALLY scary
It's so frustrating when you do everything by the rules and even so you get caught in that shit, thanks to the people who isn't careful or doesn't even care of other's safety this will take awhile for it to calm (thank you anti-mask, non-believer in covid idiots btw), the only good thing is that you can get a bit inmune to covid once you got it, but still, what a shitty situation :( thanks to the stars you all got a little better, stay safe Emily ♡
I'm so sorry, I hope you're ok now, and if not, I hope you will get better :(
I'm following every rule and still worried I might get it. Luckily nobody really close to me has had problems with it
Clearly it shows that masks don't work. These ppl followed the rules and still got it
Of course they work, but we don't use only the mask, that's the point, masks are One of the things that help us don't get the virus, do research on the WHO's recomendations please
And my grandma got it, it's been 3 months and she still doesn't all of her smell and taste back, it's like 50/50, she has half but she lost half aswell
My heart dropped when I saw the title. I hope you can get through this thought time of your life Emily!
My country keeps saying that kids can't get covid so they don't have to keep to the guidelines... And that annoys me so much cause they CAN carry it...
Not only can they carry. They can have it and die. Not as often as adults, but it's still definitely a worry to have and it's devastating. I'm sorry that your country is promoting that false narrative. Overall, kids do have mild or no symptoms and that makes it dangerous for everyone around them
Let me guess. The Netherlands?
I had a child just lean against me in a store and proudly cough in my face, I wasn't the only one, that kid krpt coughing in everyone's face on purpose, and everyone just laughed it off. It's crazy how people act about kids during covid.
I understand the struggle. My country’s president got covid and kept saying that using masks was not mandatory
@@Lemu_with_a_shirt what the fuck. I would not let that pass.
I know a person whose lungs are SCARRED for good from covid.
She has no big symptoms, she said it a felt like a mild flu. And after it she returned to work and felt like she was not able to breathe properly and got way out of breath while working out.
Went to the doctor and they did check ups and her lungs are done, she has to use inhalators from now on and it most likely will never get better.
She is 24 year old.
So, wear a mask and take this seriously.
I just wanna talk about my personal experience with this for a second. So pretty early on my family was being cautious bc my sister has a whole slew of health problems and my family is very close with my mom’s mom and stepdad, meaning that I see them once or twice a day. They’re 73 and 81 so obviously we were worried about them. Because of this, both my sister and I chose to do online school and my mom chose to work from home to limit our circles. The only people I was seeing outside of my immediate family and my grandparents was my tennis team and coaches (altogether around 20 people) and my jiujitsu instructor. During this time I was extremely active and fit as I was 3rd singles on the varsity tennis team. I had practice five days a week and on the days I didn’t I would go running. This active-ness continued for the month after the season ended until the end of October. The last week of October my sister’s softball coach (her outside activity) didn’t wear his mask to practice. It turned out that he had covid and he spread it to my sister. We immediately locked down our house and kept my sister in her room in an effort to keep it from spreading to everyone else. We made her wear a mask at all times and we wore them when we went near her room. Unfortunately three days later, after my sister tested positive, I began to notice myself and my mother showing symptoms. I was coughing, had a light fever, was extremely tired, and achy. My mother was also tired and achy. Eventually we both tested positive as well, and my grandma followed. I would log onto class in my room, sleep, log on again, sleep, eat, sleep, log on, eat, sleep. It was exhausting just getting out of bed and showering. I was in a lot of pain and none of the typical painkillers were working. Around a week after my initial symptoms appeared I started going on short walks in an attempt to get my stamina back. However, the things I had experienced during that time didn’t stop. I didn’t draw or paint for around two straight months. I began failing my classes after being too tired to do homework bc I didn’t understand it anyway. Tennis, which previously had been the best part of my life, became a source of dread. My lungs and chest were already in constant pain but tennis made it so much worse. On top of that pain, I would be unable to breathe heavily and would get achy and tired very quickly. These things together made me very depressed for a period of time. Even though I was “recovered”, I felt just as bad if not worse. By this time my sister and mom were almost completely back to normal. Around a month ago, I started getting heart rates of 120 and 140 while doing things like going on walks. When I would play tennis my heart rate would climb to 160, 170, and even 190. Couple that with my trouble breathing and my chest pain and fatigue and I was legitimately worried I was going to die. That fear was only made worse when one day at school (I went back for second semester), I collapsed from what was apparently a miniature heart attack. I’m on steroids now, which help control my heart but cause my breathing problems and chest pain to be much worse. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that my life has been ruined from this disease. The worst part is that I did everything right. The people around me did everything right. All it took was one negligent person to turn my life around for the worst.
Floris Aleska thank you, tbh I didn’t even think anyone would read all that so it means a lot to me.
I'm so sorry to hear how hard you've been impacted by covid. I really hope that you bounce back and fully recover. It breaks my heart that people are so selfish and careless that they'd put others at risk.
I'll be keeping everything crossed that your health improves and you can get back to normality soon. Stay safe friend! ❤
Oh sweetpea, I am so so sorry you're going through this. I wish I could comfort you, so instead, I'm sending you a virtual hug. You deserve a ton.
Huff Snuffleupagus thank you my dude
I’m so sorry you are experiencing this. This is why I am so mad at my school for keeping sports open. It is completely illogical to continue sports programs during a global pandemic. The disease gets transferred by getting breathed in most of the time, and during sports you are breathing heavily. It’s ridiculous that schools think the kids aren’t going to get covid from that. Idk I’m just glad I’m graduating this year so I don’t have to deal with high schools ever again. And you should sue that tennis coach for infecting your family.
It's super frustrating when people openly admit they don't believe Covid is real. Yesterday I took a door dash order out to the driver and he asked why our lobby was closed. When I told him the owner doesn't want us getting sick he just looked confused and asked "he thinks it's real?"
I think lack of education is more dangerous than we previously thought
Even asymptomatic or less severe covid infections can still have life long concequences and affects on your health so its absolutely not something to take lightly. I am glad that y'all are doing ok right now and I hope things stay that way. Take care. 💖
hearing u talk about ur kids is just aww idk whether its the cute nicknames to censor their identities but when you speak about them its just 🥺🥺🥺
In two days im celebrating staying alive with a bad case of covid and now long covid for a whole year!!🥳🎊🎉
A few months ago I never thought id still be here. Life is different and activities I used to do with ease im now unable to do. Its been a journey, a life changing one. Im still a long way from full recovery, but I notice small improvements and it gives me so much hope for the future. I couldnt be more thankful for the life Ive been given and im determined to focus on myself and get through all the hardships❤️
Sending love to everyone reading this, things will get better❤️
There’s some research out there that says that our asthma medication actually protect our lungs from some symptoms of Covid. Thank goodness you are all ok even though it must have been so stressful trying to take care of everyone. Best wishes
My son’s current strongest meds are daily Flovent treatments and I wouldn’t be surprised if that shielded him from the respiratory distress. It’s some powerful stuff!
@@emilyartful I have severe chronic asthma that effects my everyday life and when I caught Covid my mom was SOOOO worried but I managed to entirely avoid respiratory symptoms, which probably saved my life. I’m so happy your family is doing okay!
Asthma medications are also addicting for the body and if you take it regularly without the need just because it can prevent covid you'll be in a big trouble. I have bad allergies and simptoms of it but I don't need medication most of the time except when I'm really sick or exposed to mold. The best prevention is not smoking, taking care of your self and avoiding stress. Stress is key for asthma and so many other deceases

@@eatplastic9133 He uses flovent because he needs it and needed it long before COVID was even a thought. It has helped him tremendously.
OMG, I hope y'all are feeling better and have all come through this safely. I'm biting my nails right now!
My best friend got covid sometime in December, and he got hit pretty hard. Fatigue, respiratory issues, muscle aches, fever, all of it. He's much better now, and I'm thankful he survived and got better, and that I didn't get it myself, since three out of the four people in my house are immune-comprised, but was still scary. I hope you and your family have a wonderful rest of the month, since you all deserve it
I lost my big brother David Boen the day before his 39th birthday on May 6th and our Father Donald Boen died on a ventilator on July 29th. These were my guys. This virus is very real and it has destroyed our family.
My whole family got covid when it first was confirmed in Florida. It was me and my sister who had it first and then my parents got it then my brothers. We all felt horrible but i was the one who had recovered a week or so later. My father was worse off
Florida...that makes sense
from my own experience, it was hell. I'm so sorry this happened and I hope everyone is doing better now
I'm tired of governments and people not taking covid seriously. My highschool is now forcing all the oldest students to be in school all the time despite most teachers working from home. I'm so anxious that I feel like I'm about to vomit but all they care about is the kids who dont want to stay home. ;_;
If you're forced to go, all you can do is try your best to stay away from everyone and be extra vigilant on what you touch. However, hopefully your parents can say eff that and put you into a different school or even homeschool. Safety should always always come first...
Wear like three masks dude I’m so sorry
@@grosebud4721 masks only protect others from you. Not yourself from others. Since only like I and 3 others wear masks, its super inefficient
WTF, your friends don't wear masks??
@@kittenmimi5326 nope
My dad died from covid on the 22nd of February 2021, he had several others illnesses, cronic pain and was diabetic, in the span of ten days everything escalated to the worst but most classic pulmonary infection and his lungs we're literally deteriorating, me and my mom we're waiting every single day the call from the hospital and especially her was so scared... Then they told us i didn't made it through and now we are trying to minimize all the money that we spend bc i don't even know if we could live in this house anymore...
Imagine living in a time when your sense of absolute freedom is more important than looking after each other. Must be nice to be so ignorant.
Seriously! That's what I keep saying!
I wonder if being that self-entiteled feels as dumb as it looks.. surely one of them is bound to question it
freedom is so important in society. when you let the government take away your freedom and tell you where you can go and when you can leave your own house is when you start the road to being a country like china or north korea.
@@RatCheese being able to go to a bar on a Friday night is more important than saving a life?
@@RatCheese bro it’s the middle of a bloody pandemic, and you care more about going out, than people’s lives? that’s just messed up.
Omg I hope y’all are okay! All my family got Covid (We all are alright) except my gram who we feared for the most. We all had to wear masks, clean every surface, light switch, groceries, or anything we touched when we were around her the few rare times we visited after we self quarantined.
Covid is no joke guys, I’m a young person but my god that disease is life draining and so painful. *Wear your masks and social distance plz!!!*
After watching this video, I just nothing but anger and frustration towards people who won't take this situation seriously, or are trying to push their old living back into action. All the schools opening up FULL TIME (including mine and I'm pissed), people ignoring the signs and walking around without protective measures just .. UGH!!!
I know right. How does one keep hope in a society where these people exist?
When the queen has posted something concerning 😰😰😰😰
We stan a pro mask artist like Emily.
I hope after this she can get vaccinated when she can take it, I pray for the best for her!
How do you even keep faith in a society where anti-mask and anti-vax people exist? .-.
@@emilyau8023 i have a very low expectations
My whole family had covid too and it was such a scary experience. Both my parents had to go to the hospital for 3 weeks and I was essentially left alone, also very very sick and had trouble breathing because I was coughing so much, to take care of my little brother and whilst doing that I had to also take care of our new puppy which was a very hard task to do.
Thank you for sharing your story; too many times I’ve heard people dismiss covid in children as nothing serious they get over it fast. You can’t cure stupid. I’m keeping you and yours in my devotions and wish you all the best and full recovery. watching you paint is a joy, the piece is lovely.
me sees title: oh no oh no oh no no nooo
Damn, that sounds dreadful. I really hope you are all ok and I genuinely mean it. The painting looks beautiful btw.
And piss off anti maskers 🤠
I can't believe beanie is THREE?! I remember when you announced your pregnancy!! Wow I'm shook at how fast three years have gone by
I personally lost someone to COVID, please, please, if not for yourself, wear masks for others
One thing you didn't mention (and a lot of people don't know) is that covid can be spread literally via breathing. That's how it's spreading between asymptomatic people who aren't coughing. So it was all around the air in your home and you did your best, even if you'd chased your kids around disinfecting everything they touched, it would have been there. I'm glad you guys got through it and I hope it gets better soon.
And my parents call it the flu and refuse to wear a mask. I’m so sorry, stay safe ❤️
I can't imagine having parents like that. My half-siblings are like that...
Emily. I love you. The anti-masker comment was priceless and perfect. Nope, they won’t be missed.
And your artwork? Gorgeous.
Warrior mama waited until everyone was better to get sick, then gets it the worst. You are so inspiring and just the way you have perseverance in everything. I love seeing your journey. It really inspires me ✨
I’ve been volunteering at my local hospital and the amount of people who have lost family members makes my heart break. I’m so happy you and your family are doing better Emily. When you weren’t posting I could only assume the worst. I hope you guys recover and get back to your sense of normality.
Oh no! I hope you and your family are ok. Things will be alright.
I quarantined literally the whole of last year and still ended up getting covid somehow. I recovered in Feb, but I literally still don't fully have my sense of smell and taste back, and I don't have all my strength back yet. My heart goes out to all of you, I'm glad all of you are doing fine now. It really is a shit time, sending good vibes everyone's way.
I really hope that some unmaskers can understand this and get influenced to keep themselves and others safe
Nawh they're missing critical thought and are too selfish to think about others.
Hearing you describe the covid fog and sudden fatigue makes me feel so relieved I was able to get vaccinated before I got sick because it sounds pretty similar to what already happens to me and I can’t imagine how terribly covid would’ve effected me.
I’m wishing everyone struggling with or who struggled with these symptoms in the past the best day you can have. One thing I’ve learned from living with this is that if you try to fight brain fog and fatigue, they will win. You needed to let yourself sleep or stare at a phone all day if you need to, you aren’t being lazy. Bodies do so much on a daily basis already. Treating my energy like a currency helps me sometimes, I remember that if I do that thing I kind of want to do now, I might not be able to do the thing I really want/need to do later. You’d be surprised what little things sap your energy
I wish TH-cam wouldn't suppress this video just because of the subject matter. This is really important and shows how the virus looks different from person to person and how you can't really know whether or not you have it unless you get tested (rapid tests can be ineffective for early cases, ltos of false negatives). While you are so mature and grateful, it doesn't mean it wasn't scary and sad and difficult and I'm glad you and your family are out on the other side recovering.
Wow, your art has changed. I really love this piece. Hope the family is completely recovered.
Our entire family got Covid and I was so glad I was asymptomatic. I took care of my mom and sister while my dad was in the hospital in ICU on the vent and we were all super careful. My dad spent 6 weeks in the hospital and we are so blessed to have him back home now. But yeah I hate anti-maskers 😡
My family got covid right before Christmas too. My dad, sister, and brother in law all got it. Thankfully, my mom, sister, and niece were all covid-free.
But the whole experience was scary. My dad ended up in the er because his oxygen was low and he ended up with covid related pneumonia. Thankfully, he's okay now.
Sending my good vibes and love to you and your family, I'm so sorry you're going through this and I wish I could give you a hug 💙
this video really communicates how amazing of a mother you are. if i ever have kids i want to be as compassionate and understanding as you seem to be. i hope you’re doing well 🥰
I’m so glad your family is ok, my best friend and her parents got it, she and her mom were fine. Unfortunately they had her dad’s funeral yesterday because he passed from COVID. He was 60 but healthy and he is so so missed
I am so glad you are all better. It didn't have to be this way. Why folks can't just wear a mask is beyond me-playing Russian roulette with people's health and lives. My oldest son lives with autism and is at a boarding school. Some parent just had to party around Christmas. Their kid (who can't protect himself) brought it back to the group house. My kid, who has asthma, tested positive but was asymptomatic. You would have never known he was positive by looking at him. The staff did an amazing job and we are beyond grateful for them. I am so happy you all got better, but I am so sorry that you had to go through all of that after your post-baby challenges! Thank you for sharing your story; people really need to hear it.
I didnt know there could be such a wide variety of symptoms- at least covid tests are a lot more available now but 6 months ago we were all relying on like 3 symptoms to guess if we should isolate or not
This artwork is GORGEOUS! What a stunningly beautiful piece. Inspiring.
this is random but happy international womans day everyone!!
Thanks!
Thank you for some random positivity in this covid-y comment section!
My friend got COVID last March and had horrible breathing issues. At the time we had no idea what it was and thought that maybe she had just been smoking too much weed. It was so strange then bc no one knew what she had or what to do and all of us hung around her like it was nothing. It's surprising that thankfully none of us got sick. I still wonder who she got it from on campus.
I'm sorry to hear that you got covid, I hope you all recover soon! 💀🙏🏻💀
My boyfriend actually got Covid. His dad's girlfriend first had it, then his dad and then him. They all basically quarantined for 2 weeks. We're in a long distance relationship and I was deathly afraid for him, but he tried to reassure me that the doctor said "we're just silent carriers. We don't have that bad of symptoms" but even then I was scared it could get worse, but thankfully after the 2 week quarantine, they all got better and they were able to go back to working. It was scary for me just watching my boyfriend be sick and not being able to comfort him or do anything for him.
This is definitely one of my favourite art pieces you've done!! It's beautiful and makes me feel emotional.
Very sorry your family went through that, but I am glad you got through it
I'm glad that you and your family came through it relatively unscathed. It just goes to prove that you can't be too careful in mask wearing and social distancing. It's frustrating to be careful, go by the rules and still get COVID. Btw, loved your artwork in this video!
Quarantine when you’ve been potentially exposed, even if the potential is low. This story is a great example of why.
Say it a little louder for the Texans in my state please 😅 I begin to feel so alone and psycho for being in quarantine for going on a 13th month, Thank you for sharing this and showing me I am not alone ❤ there's other people out there in their homes and wearing masks and all that.. I just dont see them bc they are, well, in the home. Thank you ❤❤
13th month? Man, I honestly could have never, props to you. I mean I'm not exactly gallivanting about the place to begin with, but the second in-person school was available I went for it because online was so awful.
@9:00 is why I love Emily.
I'm so glad you're all doing better and I'm sorry you had to go through all that.
My sister, her husband, and two kids also got Covid. She said it was nothing like the flu and she felt like she was slowly dying.
Stay safe, everyone!
Also, this artwork is just beautiful.
I’m so sorry to hear that your family went through that. My husband and I were extremely cautious, but I somehow got covid around Christmas as well. Looking back, I’m glad we had decided to spend the Holidays isolated from friends and fam, but I was SO frustrated. Be safe out there!
I'm glad you and your family are better now. It is incredibly annoying how irresposible people actually affect those who actually take precautions. Btw, this piece is so cute
I've been wearing masks, hand sanitizing as soon as I leave a shop, washing my hands as soon as I get home, staying 6feet away from people, stayed safe the whole year, had the first dose of the uk vaccine last Saturday and pretty much had all the symptoms you mentioned but in 72 hours. I'm still fatigued, still have brain fog, still having bad asthma attacks.
I lost an aunty to Covid, she lived in Sicily. This shit is real, I never doubted it. ALSO, how adorable is that art work? You always make it look so easy. It's beautiful, Emily. 🌷
So sorry to hear this,I hope you and all your family are on the road to recovery and are all able to support each-other.Thank you for being so open and honest abou what's happpened,I hope in some way your amazing art helps you to recover as well.Hope you and your family come out the other side stonger on all levels sending s raft of virtual hugs and lots of healing energy too.Stay safe all of you.
Was so happy to see you posted and rushed over and was like crap it’s a premiere now my impatient self has to wait lol BUT THEN I saw the title and was like oh no! I hope yinz are ok! We’re dealing with the same thing right now my oldest got it first then the second oldest then me and I’m trying to keep stuff as clean as possible! I have 6 kids all together one of which is a newbie babes he’s only a month old so it’s stressful! But hopefully it’ll pass through and we’ll be fine! And I hope yinz are doing very well!!!! 🤍 💙 💜 💖 💚 ❤️ 🧡 💛 🤎
So happy you and your family came through and continue to recover. MASK UP!
So sorry you all got sick. This is tough times... my wife is a teacher in an area with high cases and is going back to school in person in a week I am worried.
I have been wondering what is up with one of my favourite "art Moms" just recently, and here you go, a video! I went through the virus once already, and it hit me well, so I can empathize with the events that went down. I hope everyone will recover as best as they can, and we can have you back regularly with your uplifting and beautiful art and stories!
speaking from experience (my whole family got it back in december) it is not fun. hope you guys are doing okay!
I just love how she never gets the sponsor in the middle of the video and allows to go the stprytime in a flow. Love u emily.
We love and care for you Emily, so stay safe!
What a powerful story and a gorgeous drawing. You’re amazing Emily, and I’m so happy you all pulled through this💞
Emily, I'm so glad you and your family pulled through this. Please stay the course, keeping an eye on symptoms in the future. There's a long tail on some of them including the brain fog, exhaustion, loss of sensory input like taste or smell, or taste and smell. Unfortunately, I know folks who've died of this terrible pandemic disease, one of them so effing heroically it's just shattering. I'm so glad you all pulled through, and your mum too. Bless. Hugs to you all. May your watercolour paper never pill, and may you only have good granulations.
My family also had the "luck" to catch covid at the same time, all of us.
How it happened, it's really a mystery. That aside thought, it was really scary.
In the beginning we were like "it must be the flu, can't be covid because we were careful". But we all felt worse and worse, we called the number we were supposed to and they came to test us, surprise we were all sick with it.
We mildly panicked. Nobody could go out for food or meds. We had food in the pantry and some meds, but would they be enough? And us humans, we could've baked bread every day and survive off if, but what about my beardie? I had a colony of bugs going but... were something to happen and all of them die, I simply couldn't get more... Everyday I woke up feeling horrible, I couldn't eat and my nose was like a broken pipe constantly, but the worry was killing me slowly.
Some days into our lockdown, the police started to check on us, to make sure we were staying home and not spreading it. But a pleasant surprise was that they also were asking if we needed anything. That eased our worry a bit, but those were a couple of really miserable weeks.
I had a hard time thinking and focusing on top of it and was during my exam season. They were all online and somehow I managed to get high grades (even if I don't remember how) thankfully.
My parents still feel some symptoms, months after. Me, I got some muscle pains since then that won't go away.
From all my heart, please stay safe. My family was lucky, none of us died. But plenty of my neighbors did, sadly.
One friend of mine that had it has lost his sense of smell and taste. Its only just coming back now after 5months.
Another friend barely had any symptoms at all.
Then another friend is now on a CPAP and oxygen machine all day everyday and has scarring on her lungs. She had covid twice, and was put into a coma for 3months due to how severe hers was.
It effects everyone so differently and that is definitely something to be worried about.
I'm glad you guys are all OK. Much love. Thank you for being so real and honest.x
My auntie died of covid on the 16th of Feb. She wore masks and gloves, did everything she was told and got it from her partner. He is still in the hospital and testing positive after all these weeks. He has few symptoms - he isn't allowed out yet as he has lung cancer too. This was after his first vaccine.
I’m so sorry for your loss 💔💔 this virus probably would’ve been long gone if everyone would just follow the rules and be smart. It’s awful. Stay safe 💙
Hey Emily, I would like to humbly share that I have an associate degree in registered nursing, and I don’t know if this might helpful but in school they teach us that in general when someone is sick, nasal discharge that is discolored tends to signal something bacterial, while more clear discharge would typically indicate seasonal allergies or viral infection. I’m so glad you and your family have managed to recover! Thank you for sharing your beautiful art and your personal experiences with us! You’re such a beautiful soul! Sending lots of love to the Artful family! ❤️
Oh Emily... I am so sortty you all got sick. I hope your covid fog eases soon.
Your painting is amazing, and I'm so thankful you were able to make this video
and what do we learn from this?: only because we or people in our lives don't have covid it's still there and i should consider myself lucky to not actually having covid myself.
I'm so sorry that you and your family had to go through this, I'm glad you are on the other side of things now.
Beautiful piece of art! You are so talented. Glad you are feeling better.
I am so sorry ya all got sick, thankful though it was not as bad as it could have been. Doctor mama always knows when things are up, never stop listening to her. Glad your mama and step dad are ok as well. I have missed you!
We actually had a bout of Covid in our house that had symptoms nearly identical to headcolds/sinus infections.
I'm glad you're all feeling better, and hopefully the fog lifts. I get similar after panic attacks and it's awful ☹️ the only saving grace is that at least it was staggered do hubby was able to take care of the littles while you recovered. Hope your mom is okay 💞
I've had friends with family members that never even showed symptoms. I'm still trying to wrap my head around my hubby's two friends that think it's all a hoax.
My entire family but my grandfather got covid, we all had to were masks in our own house to keep him safe
Im starting to tear up at these comments im so sorry for your losses if you family isnt better yet i hope they get better and everyone is safe.
Your new video was super popular and it might seem like people follow you because of that. In my case I refound your channel, and thought that I want to see more traditional painting in my feed. I think you're amazing and I'd love to see tips on painting. Not sure if I like a story channel but seeing your work might be worth it.
The beginning of your video where you talk about your kids getting asthma problems because of genetics from both you and your husband reminds me of when I was talking to my boyfriend about if we ever had kids.
My bf and I both have somewhat skin sensitivity. His is more severe than mine, he has red dots and bumps all over his body constantly, meanwhile I only flare up if my hands get too dry, then I break out into hives or if I get certain skin products or makeup on my face, I will turn red and burn. That's one of my fears if we ever have children, it's that we'll pass on our sensitive skin conditions down to our kid(s). I'm scared that if we have kids, we'll bring them lots of pain and suffering through having sensitive skin. I'm glad your family has been doing okay with dealing with your kids' asthma. It makes me hopeful that if we ever do have kids, that we can get through it maybe
I had a coworker die from covid. And it’s extremely frustrating to see people not taking it seriously.
i experience the same issues as both of your kids, and it sucks so bad! especially right now. and since they’re little it’s a lot harder.. people seem to think their kids are immune to covid and everything. you did so great as a mom.
Wow, that's rough. I'm glad you guys made it through ok! Those symptoms are nuts.
I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I hope you all get back to 100% soon. My SIL had it and she was very sick for 14 days. It's dreadful.
I'm so glad you guys are ok, I hope all the symptoms are gone. I'm hoping people start taking this more seriously and they get vaccines out as quick as they promised
