I am so sorry for what you and all the others, including me are going through with this evil long covid. I wish I could offer some solutions for your ailments but I am also into my fourth month of feeling lousy most days. I’m constantly short of breath, have developed hypertension, went into complete heart block, necessitating a pacemaker. Before COVID, I was a healthy, active 78 year old. All my docs don’t want to diagnose long haul COVID - they say there is still not enough data. I am waiting to get into our local post covid clinic but there’s such a long wait list. All I can offer is that you are not alone in this and there are many of us who understand what you’re experiencing. I wish you well - hang in there.

Initially it was difficult for any doctor to acknowledge Long Haul Covid. I had Covid in Nov of 20021, and long covid came my way three months later February 2022. That makes it 15 months, but I send hope to others, as some of the symptoms have been resolved. I was seeing a profession Alternative care NP overseen by a doctor. Since there is no cure, it is a virus, so I was treated for Epstein Barr, also a virus. It really is hard to discern if it was time or the supplements, but I am so grateful that it seems to on it's way out of my body. My last symptoms are the profuse sweating and hot flashes, not due to menopause--I am 74. I have been given an SSR- Duxlotine 60 mg 2x a day for the hot flashes. I started with 1 dose and it was good for only a certain amount of time--therefore the 2 doses, and it works really well. I saw just about every doctor there was for help on my symptoms. It was a vascular doctor who had seen success with another person, so I took that as a gift since I saw him for something else. Now I am hoping my Gynecologist has some answers. Testing showed I had NO hormones--what a shock. So I will be doing the pellet therapy and have very high hopes this will end this awful sweating profusely symptom. I have become heat intolerant because of it, and will break out in sweat at any time, at home and especially at home when I do housework. I just drip from my face. No point in fussing with my hair as it will be soaking wet shortly. This so awful and embarrassing when I go anywhere. Have faith, and I wish everyone much luck in finding what will work for you.

52 when my long covid issues began, but then adrenal gland issues began, so in getting tx for that, my long covid issues began to improve. Its been 2 1/2 years now, and looking back, I see inflammation systemically ( all over the body, or moves around) so, I still take tumeric 1,000 mg daily and pepcid. Corticosteroids, eye, nose, lungs, stomach. If I can keep my body from as much inflammation as possible, then my cortex support does its job. I had two heart attacks before we found the cortisol issues.
