Fair enough. That was not my intention of course. The comment was made based on the whole body inflamation that is now know to be the main driver of this disease. It will affect individuals differently over their lifetime. Hopefully a cure at some point or a major advance in treatment. Good luck to us all.

Furthermore I wouldn't be too sure that "whole body inflammation" is the "main driver" of LC.
That may be true for some sufferers, but other potential causes are viral persistence,
latent viral reactivation, and autoimmunity, amongst many other proposed causes.
See, for example, https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/the-long-covid-puzzle-autoimmunity-inflammation-and-other-possible-causes

Again, the most striking single feature of this syndrome is its variability, both in terms of symptoms, as well as, likely, its causes.
One has to avoid jumping to firm, yet at this point, unfounded conclusions.

My pet theory, of course, involves space aliens.
