Yes, I’ve been told I had it. A little over a year ago, I had covid pneumonia, in the hospital for 3 weeks with 40 liters high flow bypap, came out with 24/7 oxygen until recently moving to a lower elevation.
I’ve had two CT scans since the hospitalization and my lungs still show ground glass opacity. My pulmonologist said I have Post inflammatory pulmonary fibrosis, which is damage to the lungs. I’m not sure it is curable. But he did say,it doesn’t look like it’s getting worse, its has showed stable.

Wow, I'm so sorry you've had to deal with all that!! I'm afraid this may not go away. I'll have the second CT scan in June. Are you managing to live a pretty normal life with it now? Did you gradually get stronger?
