I too have long COVID for the past 3 years since my last infection. I lost 60lbs in 10 days. Lost all muscle mass and still can't build any.
It affected my pancreas, GI tract ( mostly my esophagus. Was told I had Achalasia, went to Mayo and my diagnosis was inconclusive.
My cognitive function has declined significantly B12 deficiency even taking injections daily, B3 Niacin undetected, my TPO is now up to 52 with normal tsh levels.
Pancreatic insufficiency where I go 10-12 a day.
Has anyone had a stool study done to check for COVID or a spinal tap to test?
I'm at my lowest point since I literally can't do my daily things I've always enjoyed.
I have 14 grandkids that I love doing things with but I physically can't.
Thanks for listening to my pity party, lol

As much as we all feel it is, it’s no pity party. It’s feelings that nobody else could even relate to. I was told everybody hurts and me trying to explain it’s a totally different pain. People just think I’m crazy. You’re right it takes your life away you can’t do all the things that you want instead. Just like being a multitasker I can’t even complete one task over a week time. I can’t even stay focused on it. I was sent a at home test to check my colon I don’t know if my doctor sent it because of of dealing with the long Covid or just a simple check. With things that have happened in my life and the bills piling up I couldn’t keep going to get constant test so I’ve been suffering when I’ve been to another state just where nobody knows me to judge me. I’m going today for my first appointment to start seeing a new doctors. I hope and pray somebody can bring my life back by their knowledge or studies. Good luck with any kind of recovery.
