Dear Romeo51 and all who continue to have shortness of breath due to Long Covid. My situation does not offer a solution, so am simply sharing more than five years of experience. I have been to three cardiologists, one pulmonologist and had testing during the five years. Since I never smoked, have never been overweight, and because LC symptoms are often elusive to the medical community, the results of all tests indicated that my heart and lungs were "fine." I choose not to take any medications because none of what I've heard or read "cured" Long Covid. My additional medical conditions preclude "experimenting" with medications yet those additional conditions do NOT cause shortness of breath. Prior to Covid I was very energetic, never breathless, never fatigued and never experienced any of the symptoms spawned by Long Covid. As I previously wrote, my P.C. believes that this condition is life-long. Like many of you, I need to pace myself and carefully prioritize activities. Having enough energy to partake in a family gathering now means planning nothing for at least a day or two later because "recuperating" is always necessary. On some days just attempting to remain awake is all I can manage while hoping the next day will be better. For me "hope" and Long Covid are ongoing, but battling this disease is daunting, exhausting, debilitating, demoralizing, unexpected, unpredictable and unrelenting. Many of us feel alone in this fight. However, although no one on this site "lives next door" we are connected via this disease by time, circumstances, information and an understanding about LC that only we can appreciate. We all need each other, need to read what is written, need to be kind to ourselves and need to love ourselves for whatever or how much we can do. I hope to continue finding generous understanding by strangers who also experience this debilitating disease. We are a very diverse group yet are a lifeline for one another by being one in spirit.
