What am I actually supposed to be doing to get better?

It’s awful. I have done so many “conventional” treatments that did not help me because so few doctors want to address the issue of something new, and not understood. Just get you on an SSRI so you will shut up!
I’d be happy to do that, but after trying eight different ones that made me worse, I just don’t think that’s the answer.
I go to an Integrative Medicine group that acknowledges LC, but so far after tests and tests and tests, no relief...no answers.
At my appointment today, I’ll bring up LDN treatment. It’s so hard for me to surrender that my life is over!

On many days - even most - I cope. I'm still working (fortunate to have had a home office for most of my long work life) AND my life has narrowed in scope and breadth dramatically since COVID the end of March 2023. Today was one of "THOSE" days when I just began to cry: I needed a haircut - even for Zoom teaching & meetings, I need to look professional! Pre-COVID/Long COVID, haircuts every 3-4 weeks; now, 2 months and I try to manage because going out is too exhausting. In two days, I have yet another doc appt. to deal with another symptom that has been ruled out for anything but LC. Then next week, btw two days of virtual teaching (30 students; 4.5 hours each night - OY!), another specialist. Piece by piece and nothing helping. I do understand @dloos, your frustration.
