Thank you for your comment about the upcoming clinical trial of baricitinib. It would be used to reverse LC. If I lived near one of the clinical trial sites I’d apply immediately to participate!

You quote remarks from Dr. Ely about longhaulers’ unacknowledged suffering. These remarks show that some physicians are informed about LC and eager to provide the best care available for LC. That is the case with my healthcare providers.

I would not hesitate to participate in this trial if it were close enough to travel!
I am 2+ years in with post covid. I struggle daily with almost every dreadful symptom associated with it.
I do want to say, that I have a competent and caring PCP. She has been SO wonderful treating me with this chronic illness.
I’ve been to every specialist and had all the testing done, with no real outcomes, except inflammatory and autoimmune markers.
I too, believe that physicians are becoming more informed about LC.
I hope that at the governmental level, we will see more appropriate funding for trials and research. As we all hold out hope and look forward to findings that will alleviate symptoms and perhaps, put an end to post covid all together .
