I'm sorry for your medical state, but some don't realize how serious long covid is or its potential impacts to our lives. I see eat better, meditate, or see a neuropsychologist. What they don't understand is I'm a 75 year old individual, still working as a professional engineer and since May 2022, I went from lifting 60lb dog food bags to buying 5lb bags just to get it in the house, my brain is on fast drain heading to dementia, all my joints are inflamed and I feel like full body arthritis has taken over and the continuous nerve pain and headache are one hiccup away from a stroke and all you get is a com-by-yah eat better recommendation while the medical profession sits with their thumbs up their butts.

By now (3 years in) they should know how to diagnosis the disease based on symptoms and they should have a diagnostic protocol for all patients. Once they identify the affected systems, they can treat the symptoms while they look for a cure. Sure I don't expect them to cure me tomorrow, but if I have exposure to stroke, heart attack or any other deadly outcome I expect them to alert me rather than dismissing it due to incompetence. We buy medical insurance to access medical care which covers diagnostic and preventative care - we don't pay for it to be ignored until we are dead.

Most people who have benefitted from treatment, whic I have as well from support groups and mynreading, followed protocols from their private pay functional docs. I have benefitted from fellow members of my support groups. One long hauler resource is Facebook Long-Haulers. Also check the possbilty of hidden Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) resurgence, and fnd good info in Stuff that Works and Facebook Neuro V Long-Haulers. Until docs and big pharma can catch up with the need, you are challenged to become your own advocate and researcher. Don't give up. There is good free info available. All the best to you for finding ways to help yourself and heal. Blessings.
