Yes, I’m hoping to get into a specialist in Chico, a couple of hours away from here. But getting into a specialist hadn’t been easy as well. I’m up moving, not bed ridden in anyway. So, I’m hoping my primary can get me into one , there’s a long line to wait for these specialists I hear now, since Covid. Does the after effects, I.e. shortness of breath, fatigue, etc. can that take months to go away? I’ve been out of the hospital since last Nov. and I still can’t taste or smell, etc along with the other comments I made. It’s a life changer for me. It’s horrible, and now, totally depressed

Hello, If you read through the other discussions in this group, you will learn that long Covid is still a puzzle. It appears that each case is different, recovery times vary from a few weeks to many months, and how many effects resolve and how many may be permanent is still not well understood.
Can you get a referral from your physician, then get busy on the phone and internet and find a doc to see you? Your doctor might take a long time, between seeing patients, to track down resources for you - but you might be able to find help sooner. It is important to be your own best advocate in seeking care. Here is a list of Post Covid Care Centers in California too - are any accessible to you?
