Seriously-same. My own daughters that know how weak I have been for over a year think it is in my head. I sure hope they don’t experience this. I noticed that the docs- neurologist- call it post covid now. Maybe that is easier for people to believe since it indicates COVID causing something else. One of my daughters says you can’t have a virus for over a year. We know differently, don’t we

I’m sorry you have had to endure the doubt of anyone with your Long Covid health issues. As you know, you are experiencing very real changes to your body and its functioning that are very challenging and life altering. I too have some friends/family in the medical profession who doubt Long Covid referring to it as “junk science” It is unbelievable in this time after all the death and devastation that Covid caused, how anyone could doubt any possibility of long term harm from a MAN MADE virus! Please stay vigilant working hard to inform yourself and any around you, they will eventually come to know the truth about Covid and its terrible impacts as time goes on. Wishing you strength and improved health in any way possible

My boss thought I was trying to ditch work I think.I'd go in,and become so anxiety driven my whole body would react.I'd have to leave.(cashier dealing with public and the feeling like I was gonna just fall apart or something.This happened quite few times.I had dropped 30 lbs.I told her finally..."Look at me,do I look fine?"She FINALLY began to realize I wasn't bluffing.That was a big relief actually.But as far as other people saying 'it's in your head'...I just say...hope to God YOU don't get this...You won't like it!My doctor knew nothing about long covid.So I KNEW I was gonna have to take the reins.I found Dr Paul Anderson on youtube one day...he just clicked with me.I felt hopeful for the first time in my sickness.I had to take lorazepam for a couple of weeks to get through my strong reactions to stress.Which my present doctor prescribed for me.She was very good about listening to what I was going through...so she worked with me.I did the asking for medications...she would say..okay...let's try that then.Now I'm feeling good most of the time.VERY LITTLE symptoms now.I feel for all of you.I could care less what others think about covid.I know that's what I have(had).My body is repairing nicely now.Was it because of his treatments?Or just at the end of this ugly thing.I don't know...but I'm doing what he suggested.Could be his advice?IDK.But I truly feel 'almost' there....
