I am truly sorry for you and the nightmare you’re going through, it’s so scary and even worse when it’s something that no one has much information about. It’s not going to help you or anyone going through this including me by listening to frightening stories of conspiracy theories, you’re going to make a bad situation even worse. I’m almost 72 and I have battled lung cancer twice in the past two years, I also have long covid and I’m coping with terrible symptoms. I lost too much weight from cancer and now I have to deal with new problems. I finally asked for help after three months of trying to help myself, we don’t have enough doctors here to choose from. I realized quickly that what I had read is true, the doctor told me not to put the onus on covid, I felt that it would be a waste of time to argue, I asked for tests to be done and although I was grateful they didn’t find anything relevant but I also felt that it was the way they wanted to deal with me. I believe that we’re in the fight for our lives and to be able to survive on our own terms, I’m from a family of survivors and I don’t give up easily although I came close a few times. It’s difficult to express myself as well as I would like to do but my brain is going faster than my texting abilities lol..please don’t give in to quitting the battle, hang in there and fight back for your right to medical care and if you don’t like what they say or do then you find someone else until you get the right ones to help you. We are many in numbers and more people are going to have the same problems that we have and they will have to deal with it because it’s too big to sweep under the carpet

I have said this before. Try to visit with a nurse practitioner who is allotted more time to listen to you. He/she would know who to direct you to see.
