@pj1968 PJ, I pray for you, as I do for all of us suffering from what we believe to be post-covid…

I am currently 47, but have been sick since 2020. I have not worked in-person in my office with any regularity since 2020. I am finally being let go as I am not really able to work from home - but that is another story.

I too was probably in the best shape of my life, but started having myriad issues (gastro, upper-respiratory, throat, nasal - and terrible fatigue).

I too have Kaiser, and they are the absolute worst health care system. The doctors pass the buck, have no idea, and then just blindly prescribe medication and if you press them on anything, they say they have no idea. I absolutely don’t know how that’s even allowed.

At any rate, this is more of a rant, because when I read that you had Kaiser and had been treated as poorly as me, I just go incensed…

Keep us posted and good luck to you and to all of us.

@oly78 I am so sorry you have suffered so long. 😞 Kaiser has been pretty decent until it came to long COVID. But I pressed both doctors this week and now have an appointment tomorrow for an MRI on my brain. Even if nothing shows, I believe my only alternative now is to apply for disability. My MoCA score proves enough. Between that, PTSD and chronic fatigue, I simply cannot work. I have always worked (since I was 17 yrs old), was rarely sick but these variants are just freaky. The doctors have conceded that there is still so much they don't know. I really thought I would be better but contracting 2 different variants in three months was just too much for my body to take. Prayers for you and for all of us dealing with this. Much love to you
