I did get a second provider...a neuropsychologist at the larger Main Sanford hospital that did memory testing and when I asked her about my condition being related to Covid, she replied..."You cannot have Long Covid "Unless you were on a Ventilator!" That's when I gave up! I wasn't going to argue with a specialist!
I've done a little of my own research and "NO WHERE" have I read that!! I cancelled my follow-up appointment with her. If a specialist tells me that, then she basically said, I had to live with.
Also at age 63 I had to take early retirement as a lab technician, because I was afraid of making a mistake. My thinking hasn't changed nor my memory hasn't seemed to improved either. So frustrating.

A rheumatologist told me that I couldn’t have LC or I would be getting better. I dropped him like a bad boyfriend and found a rheumatologist that was knowledgeable but it was outside my town. By the way, I walked out on the gaslighting rheumatologist in the middle of the visit like he was an idiot. I am lucky to have a somewhat knowledgeable but very open minded who referred me to the fantastic UNC COVID recovery clinic. Why settle for that gaslighting stuff? Your specialist is obviously uneducated and not intellectually curious enough to read the current literature on LC. You don’t have to argue but you can sure find yourself a specialist who knows something about LC. Better yet, go to your primary and get a referral to the closest LC clinic.
