Thank you for your reply.
13 months!! That is so hard on you. Can I ask what symptoms you still have? Did you experience this everyday fever also?

I never had a fever with covid or afterwards with long covid. Once again I was hospitalized for a week to determine what was wrong with me. Heart cath of both sides, blood, and just about every other organ were tested and everything showed just fine--result--long covid.
My symptoms were a smell of burning wood in my nose, labored breathing with just even walking across a room, loss of smell and taste. Smell has returned fairly well, but my taste is still off--food or beverages do not taste as they should. Extreme fatigue--just taking a shower required a lie down afterwards, maybe even sleep. I would take 2 to 3 hour naps after a night of 10 hour sleep, and last but not least trembling hands, body jolts in legs and torso when I would lie down, and extreme perspiration with the slightest exertion.
And I am not sure if the last thing that has affected me is from covid or not, but about 2 months ago I awoke with the lower part of my face swollen on both sides. A week later at the junction of my neck and shoulder-both sides simultaneously, a pocket of fluid or what I thought was fluid appeared. Many doctors later with no explanation of cause, I had a CT scan and it appears these are swollen bucal fat pads. It is going down very very slowly and if I don't return to normal I may have to have liposuction of these areas.
The symptoms I now have are the recurring smell of smoke, but just occasionally and sometimes for just a few moments, body jolts just ocassionally, and sometimes the trembling of hands.
Do you have more than the fevers?
