In late 2019, Lloyd Smith was suffering with symptoms that were later thought to be COVID-19, although he never had a conclusive test. At the time, the world was still struggling to understand the virus, and Lloyd avoided health care settings as the media was recommending.
Months later, he was struggling to even make the short walk to the mailbox and back. "I went from being healthy, normal and active to being a zombie," he says. "My breathing was so shallow, and I was gasping for air. Because I lived alone, every day was a struggle."
Knowing he needed answers, Lloyd began researching his options. "Even before I had my appointment at The James, I knew I had found five-star doctors because I did my homework, and I was also told by a friend that that would be my best option for treatment."
