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.

Thank you...but my primary has seemed to also poo-poo it. Haven't seen her in a while now. My primary sent me to the specialist that I saw above after I complained enough about my symptoms. I've also now have a random sporadic cough and she put me on an asthma medication...and I took it and it did NOTHING!! The definition of asthma does not fit my symptoms AT ALL. Everyday at no specific time I have a coughing spell...I have a certain Ricola original cough drop that helps my cough fairly fast (others don't). After the cough thing is over, I go on with my day...but it still happens every day. So strange!
I live in a small town and don't know of, or have never heard of any L.C. clinics and not really sure if the closest place would be Mayo? Which is about 400 miles from where I live. 🙁
