I hope that isn’t the outcome for the sake of everyone reading this thread and suffering through the ambiguity. I’ve had Long COVID for over 4 years and personally have noticed very very very slow improvements during that time. That has to mean something about the bodies ability to heal. For me lifestyle management has been the driver of these slow improvements- managing stress, pacing myself, getting adequate sleep and hydration, low impact movement- even if it feel like I’m doing nothing, eating nutrient rich anti inflammatory foods and surrounding myself with a community that loves and supports me. When I waver from these things is when I feel the worst and find myself in bed much more, feeling more depressed, with active “flair like” symptoms. Everyone’s experience is difference but wanted to share some hope even though each new day bring on new opportunities and challenges alike. Lots of love to everyone- wherever you find yourself on this spectrum today.

Do you have taste and smell? I’m going on 4 years of not tasting food and it is very discouraging and depressing. I have not found any doctors or specialists offering any assistance at all.

I have consoled a friend going through this for 4 years and his condition has improved to where it is much more manageable. I would be interested in how many here or anyone they know have experienced relief and to what extent and if they'd attribute it to anything the've done or "Long Covid" just running its course and one's own system overcoming it.
