Linda Lusardi has revealed the long-term effects she has been left with after surviving coronavirus earlier in the year.
The former glamour model, 61, was ‘at death’s door’ from the virus but managed to recover and be allowed out of hospital.
Her husband Sam, 51, was also hospitalised with Covid-19, and he has also been suffering the after-effects of the virus.
Linda told The Sun: ‘Sam’s had heart palpitations quite badly, and he’s under a cardiologist at the moment. They can’t see anything specifically wrong.
‘I’ve had some hair loss which has been a bit distressing. I still haven’t got the energy I had before although I’m getting there. Every week’s a bit better.’
Linda was in hospital for 10-days after coming down with a severe case of coronavirus, and she says the chest pain, fever and vomiting she experienced during that time was so bad she prayed she wouldn’t wake up.
While she worries about what the long-term side effects of the virus will do to her health, she admits the mental strain of going through a near-death experience has taken its toll on her family.
She revealed that her children had been left traumatised by the prospect of losing their parents to the virus, adding: ‘I think we’re still suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder a little bit.’
Linda also revealed that she was left worried she may catch coronavirus again as its unclear whether the antibodies produced after the initial infection would protect her or for how long.
She admitted: ‘I don’t feel like I’ve got a guard against it at all’, adding: ‘I don’t feel safe at all. I hardly go out.
‘I go to the supermarket and I see my mum who’s round the corner, who’s 87.’
