COVID test negative: How can I be sure my symptoms are long COVID?
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: Dec 6, 2021 | Replies (18)Comment receiving replies
I got sick in February 2020 and could not get in to test due to the symptoms and my fever had subsided. Took an antibody test 7 months later (gets sent to Mayo) and that came back normal yet I continue to struggle with fatigue and inflammation. My Osteo doctor diagnosed me as a covid long hauler however she left my healthcare provider and I can only point to her diagnoses notes. I have a new primary now and we are starting from scratch with bloodwork and imagery. Thank you!

Hi @bbartolotto, welcome to the post-COVID group. You'll notice that I moved your question to this existing discussion where @otter2154 was asking as similar question "Could I be a COVID Long-hauler even with a negative test?" I did this so you can connect and to review the previous comments.
You mention that your new primary care physician is "starting from scratch" with bloodwork and imaging studies. Do they also have your previous lab results and imaging studies to compare with? What led your osteo doctor to conclude long-COVID?
