Apologies. I didn't intend to finish my post that I'm a widow. Sheeze. I meant to say more. I need to double proof everything I type!
BUT-I would like to update my post by saying I emailed both my Psychiatrist and my GP yesterday insisting (noting it's a 2nd request ... and I was cordial about it ☺️) I also provided a link to a new study of LC and its direct connection to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and in some people, there are permanent changes to the brain.
I must remain hopeful that we will continue to see more and more studies published about LC. My own GP told me in August of 2024 that there is still so much they don't know about COVID and it's various mutated strains. I dodged COVID until 2023. Had a mild case, the in May and July of 2024, I contracted two different variants. And because I was infected twice and such a short time, I could not get a booster. Then by August, I was no longer myself.
BUT I know I must be my own advocate. This has gone on so long and there are many in my circle, including my doctors, who want to attribute most of my symptoms to grief and stress. I KNOW MY BODY! I know something is wrong. I'm not crazy, NOR am I a hypochondriac. 😞 I was rarely sick pre COVID. I ran 5ks, mud runs and worked out consistently. I'm 57 but now, some days I feel 87.
Ok-vent/rant over. 😊👍
I hope this comment encourages anyone living like I am to keep fighting. ❤️
