However, she faced the real challenge once she tested negative. Almost three weeks after she got Covid, she could not walk properly, she was short of breath and felt far from normal. On her family doctor's suggestion, she got a D-DIMER test done. Talking about the alarming reports, she writes, "The results were positively alarming and I was put on anticoagulants asap . For 3 months. Had My doctor not diagnosed my condition in time , the physical and mental stress I was under could have been lethal ."

After the explanation, she also clarified that she doesn't want to participate in the ongoing vaccine side-effects debate as she doesn't know if she was in such a situation because of the side effects of the vaccine or the virus. Refraining from commenting on it, she wrote, "Half knowledge is dangerous knowledge."

She concluded by saying that she would never forget the stressful time and how everyone around her discussed the virus and the vaccine. But, she urged netizens to be thankful and value life. One should leave the rest to God.
