On her Instagram Stories post over the weekend, Concepcion expressed her gratitude to her doctor for saving her from “possible paralysis” due to the deadly virus. Her expired posts were uploaded by her fans online.
“I have my dearest doctor, the brilliant Dr. Albert Recio @ harvardhopkinsmd to thank, for acting urgently, and arresting a possible paralysis the other day due to a neurological effect COVID had on me.”
The actress said that because of change in her motor skills, she knew that the virus is hitting her brain.
“What I thought was a mild bout turned into something much more serious overnight. I felt a change in my motor skills and also knew it was hitting my brain... it’s like nothing I’d ever experienced before,” she said.
Concepcion said she will forever be indebted to her doctor for saving her life.
“Doc urgently prescribed me the exact meds I needed at exactly the right time - and by anticipating the progress of COVID in my body, he put me on the road to recovery. It’s my 6th day today since first onset of symptoms and I am still weak but regaining strength slowly but surely! I am forever indebted to you doc for saving my life.”

I am up to drink my morning dose, and will go back to sleep so I can get better... and get this movie finished!!! I have 3 more shooting days to go for Asian Persuasion and I need a negative swab test and 10 more days before I am allowed my SAG to work again,” Concepcion said.
“Stay SAFE everyone.
This is not like the flu. It’s a whole different animal. I evaded it for 3 years!!! But just like that it got me. From an asymptomatic person who unknowingly passed it on. Try your best to live your healthiest lives. And let’s ENJOY WHAT LIFE HAS TO OFFER.MAHAL KO KAYO!” she concluded.
