I hear you, and your words make me wonder if my son is also experiencing what you are experiencing. We are in the MD Wash DC area, so I have found a psychiatrist who acknowledges the post viral malaise that consumes people dealing with Long Covid. The blood tests look normal, but this Psychiatrist will prescribe antivirals or antibiotics depending on the physical manifestations that are unique to each individual. And will address the feelings of hopelessness that come with the debilitating fatigue. I also have long Covid and have found a physical therapist who gave me dry needling treatments once a week for 2 months as well as gentle exercises that I could do in bed or on the floor to relieve my cluster migraine headaches and body aches that made it impossible for me to exercise. My neurologist said that people with long Covid absolutely need a bridge to healing. It’s not something that you can just muscle through. Im a 54 yr old mom, and if it were something I could muscle through, mind over matter, I would do it. I also went to a pulmonologist practice and the lead Nurse did tests to check my my lungs and pulse with the help of Xopenex rescue inhaler. She prescribed Spiriva Respimat once daily which is a COPD treatment that she finds helpful for her Long Haulers. I haven’t had to use the Xopenex inhaler much at all. I also take propranolol 10mg for migraines and anxiety and rapid heart rate. It helps me sleep at night. And the Spiriva Respimat helps open the airways in the morning. I also get allergy shots every other week for congestion and post nasal drip related to indoor and outdoor allergies year round. If you see an allergist/immunologist, ask about the oral treatment that people just take which dissolves under your tongue, and you may not need allergy shots. The allergy testing is much faster and more tolerable than it was years ago.

For thick mucus draining down the back of the throat, my sons, husband and I take an extended release 600 mg MucinexD. The guafenisin thins the mucus and the Sudafed ingredient dries the sinuses. When we awaken feeling like we’ve been run over, that’s a sign to take one. You have to ask the pharmacist and show ID because the pharmacist keeps it behind the counter. I highly recommend seeing an ENT to determine if antibiotics are necessary or any nasal sprays would help. The ENT is your best place to start.
