Yes - I have the debilitating fatigue that is one of the primary symptoms for so may of us long haulers. I can SO relate about docs knowing nothing in terms of treatment. My PCP and pulmonologist both individually diagnosed me with Long Covid but I have to constantly advocate for my own health and treatment options. I've learned a lot from listening to other long haulers and what has helped them with specific symptoms that I also have. Nothing has helped my chronic fatigue except time. For me, I think micro-clots may be one of the major contributors to my fatigue. (I have 50+ other symptoms I am battling .) I recently started taking nattokinase after hearing from some other long haulers that it helped their fatigue. It's a natural supplement which 's a blood thinner and there's also some evidence that it degrades spike protein. Fingers crossed it works for me.

I have major symptom of 'telangiectasias'. 3 years ago it started on my face and slowly moved to my upper extremities, neck, and ears. It is still spreading but after many doctors, finally diagnosed with LC. And hopefully it will stop with his care. It prob is caused from micro-clots which I will research more. I will have to go to a dermatologist to have them removed from my face. *** "Spider veins (telangiectasias) are damaged, visible blood vessels just beneath your skin's surface. They typically look red, blue or purple. They may appear in clusters that resemble spider webs or tree branches. Spider veins can form anywhere, but they usually develop in your legs or face." ***

I was not officially diagnosed but my last doctor visit concurred it sounds like long covid. I was tested negative for covid after over a year of being tested. Recently I had a serum test which indicated I was infected by covid "recently or prior." whatever that means, also positive for the spike protein (vax) with an extremely high number of antibodies. I am taking nattokinase, so far no harm is all I can say. When you look up Eliquis and other pharmaceuticals, they indicate "stops new clots from forming" but nothing about desolving the original clot.
