@lkirnbauer Bless your heart. I am just now approaching the 2 year mark and feel so much sympathy for those that have been suffering longer. From the research I've already done, I know it affects the Hypothalamus and Pituitary glands and causes a whole host of problems. I never even thought about the Thyroid being affected, but that makes sense.
I stopped seeing my NP because she refused to believe I was having all these symptoms. Every time I tried to talk to her about them, she would give me the side-eye and just keep talking about other things. I think it was just ignorance on her part. Anyway, I am looking for a new doctor, and will have the labs run.
Thank you for the information. God bless and good health to you. ❤

@shelleyr I’m so sorry your doctor doesn’t believe you and your symptoms. There are a lot of non-believer doctors out there, but there are also some that do believe us. My doctor recently retired and he ran every single test I asked him to to try to figure this thing out. There are a lot of skeptical doctors out there ENT’s especially and they say, everything looks clear so I don’t know why you can’t smell or taste! It’s flipping Long Covid!!! They don’t want to hear it! When you have your Thyroid Labs run, ask them to run TSH, T3-Free, T4-Free, TPO Antibodies and Reverse T3. Those are the markers they ran for me, but they may run more for you as you’re a new patient. I wish you all the best on your health journey.
