How can I find a MD who will acknowledge long covid?

My LC journey began in November ‘21 and my first Doctor stop was my GP in January ‘22. I went through the 2 major medical providers in Charleston, SC before going to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. One of my Doctors in Charleston coined my journey, “the journey of what’s it’s not”. They did their best in 2022 when we knew very little and unfortunately in 2024 I’m not thinking we know much more. I would advocate at least 2 things - first, self advocate because nobody is standing by trying to help you, and second never give up. You will find a solution. Fortunately for me Medicare covered everything but unfortunately I still suffer from LC.

Sorry to hear that you are still dealing with LC. I too have had the exact same time frame and I am still dealing with LC. It gets very frustrating when the professionals still don’t know what to do. We must not give up and need to be our biggest advocate! Keep fighting the good fight 🙂.

I’m so sorry you’re suffering and for so long. I too, am on year 2 of no taste or smell due to Covid in December of 2022. I just had an anniversary on December 16th of no taste or smell, except I did not celebrate! I am doing a lot of my own research as nobody really has an answer. I’ve had 7 Stellate Ganglion Block Injections to try to regain it, but it’s only brought back a more salty, sweet or bitter taste on my tongue and the last injection I had really did not do anything. I will continue to get these injections of Lidocaine into my neck, as they actually take the jitters out of my body. I will continue to go for that reason and who knows, maybe it will eventually bring back my taste and smell. Good luck and Happy Holidays!
