Increasing anger, impatience, grumpiness and brain fog after 2.5 years

Sue I'm more of a professional and like to solve problems rather than ignore them but the medical profession is sticking their head in the sand on this one. They shut down testing, they ignore treatment for long covid, you can't get an appointment for months and even then, you must have a referral from your primary care physician even though my insurance doesn't require it, and the only treatment they will prescribe is wait and it will go away if you don't think about it.
I would think that if you had gastric symptoms such as the nasal drips, covid tongue, gas pains, nausea, cramps and diarrhea one would flush the intestines as though you were prepping for a colonoscopy and resupply with probiotics - that might cost $100 and provide some help. Why not do a colonoscopy and compare it to your last one (They do film them) to see if there is any deuteriation since the last one or even take a stool sample to see if the virus still remains in your system. No not a single attempt to document, investigate or provide any relief - something is not smelling right in Denmark.

Well, it's possible they are refusing treatment because they don't actually have answers. I spoke to the Covid nurse AT MAYO when I had debilitating long-haul symptoms in the spring (2022), and that nurse told me they really didn't know how to treat it. Basically if brain fog is your primary concern, they'll send you to a neurologist. If dizziness and heart palpitations are your worst symptom, they'll send you to cardio. If it's depression and anxiety, you get a mental health appointment. But NONE OF THIS actually treats and fixes the root cause of the actual problem. It's because western medicine piece meals the whole body, rather than treating the system as one holistic unit, so it's no surprise that answers aren't forthcoming.
But many people have healed their symptoms completely, with the help of holistic type practitioners, chiropractors, functional medicine specialists etc. It's not a big confounding mystery and lots of people are getting results by eating a certain diet, supplementing heavily, and resetting the nervous system in various ways. It certainly worked for me.
