@car0, I know that it can feel like there is a waning interest in long-haul COVID. This is largely due to media turning its attention to other hot topics. People suffering from post COVID syndrome have skin in the game and continue to have a vested interest. Likewise, researchers and medical professionals caring for those with long COVID remain steadfast in their search for answers.
Dr. Van just published a new blog post:
- Paxlovid Promise? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/post-covid-recovery/newsfeed-post/paxlovid-promise/
The promise of this study is encouraging news for people who get COVID and to help avoid getting long COVID. While this doesn't help your situation directly, it gives hope that fewer people may be added to list of those who have to manage this condition.

Thank you for your comments and recognizing my point.
I DO appreciate Covid treatments— I think most with Long Haul do.
However, I’m watching other media outlets and medical posts. I think the treatment of long haul is going the way of CFS. I’m not commenting on the acknowledgement of;that is a separate topic. I’m speaking to how curiosity and motivation ( to say nothing of financing! ) within the medical community has largely run its course. Alongside the country’s interest in all things pandemic.
That the Mayo’s Long Haul blog has turned to Covid treatment is not surprising to me. I think Long Haulers will be left to their own devices, help chats, and the odd specialty doc who investigates.
