Me too.
I've experienced long-COVID since June 2020. Pharmacies didn't release COVID vaccines until eight months later.

I'm curious what symptoms have been primary for you; if they wax and wane; if you've experienced full recovery of any of them... It seems we probably were infected by the same COVID strain. I've often wanted to compare notes...
General list of my most persistent symptoms since onset 9/2020:
SOB, chest pain/pressure, brain fog!, dizziness/imbalance, fatigue (many times crushing), heart rate spikes/dips, mild nausea with full-body flushes, depression, anxiety.
[-Chest Pressure: Since onset have graduated down from adult to baby elephant sitting on my chest.
-SOB: Feels like breathing through cheesecloth.
-With the adding of Metoprolol to my Rx's, my heart rate has calmed down. No more spikes to 200bpm! Range now is between 65-120.]
My Official Diagnoses:
POTS (Heart rate spikes when changing position from waiting/lying to standing), Postural Orthostatic Hypotension (drop of blood pressure when changing position to standing), PEM, depression/anxiety. Everything else? Test results show I'm healthy as a horse.
Regardless of where we are in this process, blessings to all!
