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.

Are you seeing a pulmonologist?

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.
