@fmwentworth I’m sorry you’re struggling with Long Covid. I am too. I would have your Thyroid Levels checked. Sounds strange, I know, but I didn’t ever have a Thyroid condition until all of a sudden, I did. I’ve had Long Covid for almost 4 years now and I still have no taste or smell. I had other symptoms that have lessened, but not all are completely gone. Loss of hair, inflammation and whatever your other symptoms are, point to Thyroid to me. Ask your doctor or find an Endocrinologist to run TSH, T3-free, T4-free, Reverse T3 and TPO Antibodies. I will bet your Thyroid is low. I wish you good health and good luck!

Thanks for your response. I had my Thyroid checked and TSH and T4 were normal but T3 was low. The endocrinologist was not concerned since the others were normal. Maybe this needs to be visitied again. I'll check out your suggestions. They are going to do a bunch of other blood tests so we'll see what those results are. Best to you. 4 years! That is a long time.
