ericy210, I would write down the main things that Long Covid have changed in your life so it will be fresh on your mind. Samples in how it changed mine are listed below. I'm not trying to tell you what to do, just some thoughts.
Covid changed my life. Long Covid changed it even more.
I battle extreme fatigue daily.
Long Covid has affected my memory.
I have chronic asthma.
I am more prone to asthmatic bronchitis & pneumonia.
It exacerbated my Fibromyalgia, CFS & Arthritis.
It greatly affected my immune system.
I have never gotten my taste back for coffee.
It changed my life socially when an uptick in COVID hits each year as I mask up and will not go in a large crowd.
God Bless you. I am so proud of you for doing this and will be praying for you. Blessings & Prayers.....

I developed hypertension that can not be controlled by any medication. I never had high blood pressure in my life until I got long covid .I have low grade fevers every day up to 100.7. I also have chronic fatigue . I have short term memory loss. I had extreme weight loss. I weigh 107 pounds . When I got LC I lost 30lbs and I was not over weight. So I went down to 100lbs. I have gained 7 pounds in 2years.
And after answering on the interview, may you ask them where and how we possibly can go for intervention.

Thank you. This is the type of stuff I'm looking to relay. I may only be on for five seconds, but that's enough time to mention a few things that long haulers deal with, and others have no idea what it's like.
