I’m just wondering if you had bloodwork following Covid that showed markers for your rheumatology visit. I did, ANA+/ titter 1:320. My apt wasn’t until 5-6 months later and I felt pretty much brushed off as I did with ENT and my primary. It’s two years later and I’m still struggling and got Covid again. I got a rx for paxlovid and hoped it would wipe it all out - it did not. At this point I’m pretty much lost with a bad feeling of resignation and hopelessness. GI has determined serious acid reflux and ulcers, stomach and esophagus, but the PPI treatment is ineffective. He also discovered a hiatal hernia that might be the problem but my FU is still a month away. Lately my dentist indicated my sinuses at least on one side are low which might be my dental pain problem. I’ll have a CT for that next week.

I’m really interested in your neuro findings because I’m wondering if this whole thing could be related to a nerve problem specifically the vagus nerve because my problem is from my sinuses through respiratory and gastric systems. Treatment in each specialty clinic is effective short term but nothing is getting rid of my problems in total. Please continue to share your findings and good luck to you.

My neuro ordered antibody tests in prep for the rheumatologist visit. I took them in July this year. My covid was Sept 2023. I had an abnormal ANA, but rheumatologist suspects that was due to type 1 diabetes, psoriasis and hypothyroidism, which I’ve had a long time. My markers were 1:16, which is low, I think, though not normal. She ordered an RA test too. Upcoming.

My ENT was so impressed with my improvement last month, on the smell test that he didn’t do any other tests. So, I’m waiting for the stuffy left nostril, runny nose and throat congestion to clear on its own. Sigh.
