    Entre Abril y Mayo de 2021, Estuve  en terapia intensiva, intubado y en coma inducido, por la gravedad de la infeccion por el virus de Covid-19. Luego estuve en terapia intermedia 2 meses, por complicaciones neuromusculares con paralisis de varios musculos braquiales y de los miembros inferiores, ademas de ptosis palpebral unilateral y vision doble, posteriormente en reposo domiciliario, con asistencia de fisioterapia recupere lentamente los movimientos musculares, y mejoro la ptosis palpebral y la vision doble en un lapso de 6 meses. Luego de 1 año, apenas podia escribir y firmar algunos documentos. Fue desesperante y con un futuro incierto. Actualmente a junio 2025, tengo secuelas de cansancio rapido al caminar, dolores de vias nerviosas y calambres musculares. Mentalmente no sufri secuelas, duermo bien y el pensamiento es normal. Tengo 75 años cumplidos. Pienso que el Covid-19 en una enfermedad debilitante a nivel muscular y las vias nerviosas perifericas. Es una enfermedad de curso prolongado, y hay que protegerse con las ultimas vacunas ya que el virus tiene una gran capacidad de mutacion. Gracias por vuestra atencion. Desde Cochabamba, Bolivia.

    Between April and May 2021, I was in intensive care, intubated and in an induced coma due to the severity of the COVID-19 infection. Afterwards, I spent two months in intermediate care because of neuromuscular complications, with paralysis of several brachial and lower limb muscles, as well as unilateral eyelid ptosis and double vision. Later, while recovering at home and receiving physical therapy, I gradually regained muscle movement, and the eyelid ptosis and double vision improved within six months. After one year, I was barely able to write or sign some documents. It was a desperate situation with an uncertain future.

    Currently, as of June 2025, I still have after-effects, such as rapid fatigue when walking, nerve pain, and muscle cramps. Mentally, I did not suffer any consequences—I sleep well and my thinking is normal. I am now 75 years old. I believe that COVID-19 is a debilitating disease affecting muscles and peripheral nerves. It is a long-lasting illness, and it is important to protect yourself with the latest vaccines, as the virus has a great capacity to mutate.

    Thank you for your attention.
    From Cochabamba, Bolivia.
