Ive had covid 3 times now and have ground glass, several nodules and web scaring. Doc say it's permanent most likely. Down to 37 percent lung function, never smoker.

Regarding your comment of 37 percent lung function, is that from a pulmonary function test? If so is it your percent of predicted value for total lung capacity, FVC (Forced Vital Capacity) or FEV1( "Forced Expiratory Volume in one second)?
I am at 61% of predicted value caused by interstitial pulmonary fibrosis (scarring in lung). I am on oxygen for exertion and sleep.
Did they identify any causes for your scarring? Is Covid considered responsible for this damage to your lungs? One more example to take Covid seriously. I have had Covid twice, luckily mild cases. The first time 4 weeks after my first lung surgery. No idea how I caught since I was very careful to avoid people.
