Honestly we've had such a difficult time with his PCP, they kept telling us for the last 2 yrs that he couldn't possibly have long covid because it "Only lasts 6-8 months" and solely focused on his blood pressure (not the fact that his was literally falling off the table because he can't stay awake, or that the varicose veins all the way up his legs, making them look like eggplants and the numerous other issues he is having, so they would only give him different bp meds which were also diuretic. Lisinopril was the latest which may have caused the extreme weight loss. We aren't sure. Since his psychiatrist has started trying to help us force his PCP to take this more serious, he has been kicked out of that office so we have had to hunt down a new one which we will be seeing soon here (the internal doctor). Amazing the hell you all have to go through just to be taken seriously.

I am just discovering this group and this thread. I gained a total of 50 pounds after contracting Covid in March of 2021; just one of a ton of symptoms presented by Long Covid. Just started hormone therapy to see if that addresses my out of whack system and the LH weight gain. Looking promising so far.
