Alyssa Milano is continuing to share her journey following her recent battle with COVIID-19.
The actress and activist revealed that while she’s physically feeling better, taking aspirin every three days to thin her blood, along with various supplements such as fish oil, zinc and vitamins D and C, she still suffers from serious side effects.
“I still have occasional heart palpitations. I still forget my words (absolute worst part),” the 47-year-old “Charmed” star told Instagram followers Wednesday. “But it’s not nearly as bad as it was a few weeks ago. I feel better. I had a CT scan of my lungs and a cardiac MRI and both were normal.”
In August, Milano shared her diagnosis of how she contracted the deadly virus in April, which led to a multi-week battle that included loss of her sense of smell, plus body aches and feeling like she couldn’t breathe, among other symptoms.
Although she survived it, she confessed that she “super scared sometimes” of getting her loved ones sick with the deadly virus has claimed nearly 190,000 lives in America since March.
“I don’t ever want them to have this thing,” Milano continued, calling the virus a “beast.”
“So I vacillate between being so grateful and so terrified,” the Bensonhurst, N.Y., native confessed. “Grateful that it was me who got sick and terrified that friends or family will be sick.”
Milano, who gained fame in the 1980s sitcom “Who’s The Boss?” said she took two COVID-19 tests at the end of March, both of which came back negative. She later took an antibody test through finger prick that came back negative, but when she received another antibody test through blood work, the results were positive.
