#Texas woman has coronavirus symptoms 100 days after testing positive

A Texas woman has spent more than 100 days cooped up at home after testing positive for coronavirus in March, according to a new report.

Jenny Lorraine, who said she got infected after having heart surgery earlier this year, and told KXAN this week she is still suffering from COVID-19 symptoms.

“I felt like I was coming down with the flu and two days later I felt like I was run over by a truck,” Lorraine told the outlet.

After a month, she told the station, she started regaining strength, but the symptoms never completely vanished.

Even on her 90th day in isolation, she still had a fever.

“My ears are ringing right now, my back hurts so bad, like a fiery pain,” Lorraine told the station at the time.

During tele-medicine calls, Lorraine’s doctor informed her she was still contagious and needed to remain quarantined.

Her family is also in isolation — including her two toddlers who are presumed to have the virus after seeing their doctor, according to the report.

It typically takes about two weeks for a person to recover from the coronavirus — and if it lasts several months, there might be underlying issues, Dr. Manish Naik, of Austin Regional Clinic, who did not treat Lorraine, told the station.

“If somebody is experiencing something that’s outside of what I consider the norm for this infection, it would be important for that person to make sure there aren’t other things going on,” he said.

Some can develop more serious symptoms and get pneumonia.

The CDC states that people with symptoms can be with others again once they’ve gone three days without a fever and had their respiratory symptoms improve — as long as 10 days have passed since the symptoms first emerged.

But after more than three months, Lorraine hasn’t met that criteria.
