On Thursday, Alyssa Milano appeared on CNNs Cuomo Prime time to talk this spring about their bout with COVID-19 and decipher an inconsistent and frustrating testing process in the US.
“I oscillate between anger, fear and just complete sadness,” the actress said of positive testing for COVID-19 antibodies, despite other results for the virus, symptoms of which she experienced in April, recurring negative.
Just a day after her interview with Chris Cuomo, Milano was back in the hospital. According to a social media post shared on Saturday, the activist visited an ambulance on Friday to rule out a blood clot after she experienced ‘real pregnancy’ in her breast. No clot was found but the former Charmed star – who will re-earn her role as Samantha Micelli in the run up to a Who’s the boss? sequel alongside Tony Danza – shares how the health scare and recurrence of symptoms illustrate what it’s like to be a COVID-19 “long hauler.”

‘This virus is swallowing,’ Milano wrote, posting a selfie with a masked bear out of her hospital bed. “Please take it seriously.”
I was acutely ill w / Covid19 in April. I still have a lot of symptoms. I’m what they call a ‘long hauler’. Last night I had real pregnancy in my chest. I went to the ER to make sure it was not a blood gland. Fortunately, that was not the case.

The 47-year-old also invited fans to share their own COVID-19 experiences, sending supportive comments to those describing their symptoms.
In response to one question, she tweeted that she suspected she had originally contracted the virus while traveling. In another tweet, she shared that she still gets night sweats so often.
Travel between Portland, NY and LA. 😔

But many have doubts about their health requirements, with their negative test results. When one Twitter user accused her of ‘lying’, Milano stood her ground, tweetjen, “DO YOU LIKE ME FOR THAT ?! Why would I suffer from having a virus?”
On Sunday, she took to Twitter to share a video of herself brushing her wet hair, showing the hair loss associated with COVID-19. ‘Wear a damn mask,’ she told viewers after pulling several strands from one brush.
