Ty Godwin poses for a self portrait. He's had COVID-19 symptoms for a year. Ty Godwin has felt like he has COVID-19, shortness of breath, malaise, fevers, headaches and fatigue — for the last year. He’s a long hauler, part of a growing number of people who experience what’s known as long COVID or post-acute COVID-19 syndrome. “I was a marathon runner and a triathlete before this,” he said. “I've had nights where I wake up out of breath.” In January, he took a medical leave of absence from work to try to get better. In March, he’ll travel to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, to see if doctors there can help him.
