Glimmers of Hope: Post-COVID Syndrome Research Nov 6 6:08pm | By Greg Vanichkachorn (@drvan)Comment receiving replies
Isn't that amazing? Most of my jolts were in my legs, the ones that affected my torso seemed to be much stronger and cover the entire torso--it was scary. And I had the same reaction from doctors. You would think this would be of interest to them. It is very strange to have these jolts, and though I am getting so much better, I still get them at times. Not every night as I used to. I wonder why its only when we lie down?? Perhaps some day we will have answers, but for now I am grateful that these symptoms are subsiding.

I was a critical care nurse for 40 years and I have never seen anything like this. Just read through all the varied symptoms we display. Most docs are as confused as we are. This is a new and very complicated disease. Insurance ties the hands of doctors and government regulations has them jumping through hoops to prove compliance with the regulations. They have to work long hours to make enough to sustain a practice, pay their staff, pay off loans etc. Covid is a work in progress and so complicated. This runs the gamete of no symptoms to mildly ill to very ill to death to long Covid. Congress needs to allocate funds for research. The least you are owed is respect and if your doctor doesn’t listen to you and show compassion, find another.
