Thank you for all the comments and suggestions - I/we appreciate any recommendations and I realize it certainly is different for we every person. I posted a long comment yesterday but managed to erase it - so I’ll try a quicker note!
He was never hospitalized - April 2021 he had your basic bad flu - no big deal . Approx 3-4 weeks later is when it all started changing.
His neurological deficits are quite severe ( as in I leave notes for him to brush his teeth. Deodorant ,water in coffee pot)forgets everything all the time - did neuropsych. Evaluation( 5 hour test) back in January and showed definite decline in executive functioning and memory . He barely drives because he is not comfortable - if he has to - even five minutes away , he will plan out his route . We have tried many things - ivermectin/LDN/Atorvastatin/fluvoxamine/prednisone/ Wellbutrin/ stimulants/ now have him on Aricept !supplements ( Quercetin-Zinc-NAC - MitoQ -omega)
His GI issues are awful - in bathroom easily 7 x a day - I can always hear his stomach make noises - seen gi doctor.
His long Covid doctor is through UF Shands - done many tests but pretty much sends us to this or that doctor. His cardio crp numbers are high as is d-diner —— however this does not seem to concern anyone even though it points to inflammation. She has been more concerned with his depression and anxiety and having him seen about that . Of COURSE he is ! Ok so I did write too k uh but as all know - there is so much involved and everybody is different and unless you have a loved one with it - people think you are really exaggerating ….
“ so, gosh can he not even do anything ?”
We are in our 50’s and at a total loss —— I miss him - he misses him - he has gotten to the point he thinks this is how he will always be …. Very disheartening to see hm day in and out …. Thank you for reading , it helps. Best to all out there🌺

I’m back. Just to let you know? There was a study donqe in 2021– most of the doctors seen for long Covid focus on depression/anxiety. It makes me so mad. I just read a paper from Mt. Sinai Long Covid clinic. They are my go to clinic, for a variety of reasons ( ask me later). See the photo I (prob illegally) included. This is from a paper published telling practioners how they must treat LH pts.
Interesting, huh?!?
They also say: send Pt to a clinic specializing in Long Haul.
It really seems you may benefit— since you PCP is doing it WRONG
