I hate to think this way, but I’m afraid I agree. I am one month out from my first case of COVID and still recovering and hope I don’t have any long COVID symptoms that persist. But I share your fears because I had a severe case of Lyme Disease which went undiagnosed and untreated (because doctors didn’t take me seriously) and ultimately caused damage to my heart and I had to get a pacemaker. Chronic Lyme is also ignored because the medical community expects you to heal with the tools they have and they don’t know what to do with you if that doesn’t happen. It’s difficult for them to admit they don’t have the answers if a drug or a surgery won’t fix it. And where does that leave people with unresolved medical issues like long COVID or chronic Lyme? In limbo.

Oh wow. Chronic Lyme is SO vicious!! And completely ignored. I pray Ling Covid doesn’t go the way of t D’s ( tick borne diseases). A lot of Lyme docs have commented on the parallels to long Covid. So: If you WANT to get furious, see the new Lyme documentary…
