@kevtan It is ridiculous, the wait times and also the insurance factor. I am not paying $192 a month. I thought I was not going to have insurance but with the tax subsidies, that is the price. It would have been over a grand. I was paying $35 a month last year. I am grateful to have the insurance. There is an actual ICD-10 code for Long COVID but whether or not the insurance pays for it is a different matter. A diagnosis can help on the one hand because Long COVID is recognized as a disability yet it can hurt on the other hand due the insurance costs. The health care system in this country is broken.

On another note, I am jealous you live in Florida. I know not all of Florida is near the ocean, but my goal is to one day live near the ocean. That is my peaceful place.

I hear ya. I finally got on Medicare last month 65. Happy flipping birthday to me. Florida is pretty nice. I was born 70 miles north of here in Sarasota Moved to Fort Myers FL
It would be nice if I felt normal again. Its over 5 years. ICD 10 I had a 14 panel Covid Blood test. Out of 14 test I was Out of range on 7. Way way out.
I need to do that 14 panel again but now it cost $550
