I have my neurological psych next Monday and can't wait for the pep talk - hope he's ready to explain why I'm in his office and what he plans to contribute to the recovery process.

I also had a blood test prescribed by my GP since it was my yearly check-up but it was a standard test rather than a targeted test to look for covid so it was useless - as with anything you have to tell them what to look for and pay accordingly. Mine was my yearly blood draw so my A1C was ok, red & white cell count ok , cholesterol ok .... but nothing on covid because we didn't ask. I understand that if you take a certain blood test within 6 weeks of contracting Covid they can confirm Long Covid - that does nothing for the long covid population that has been battling it for over 2 months.
