Has anyone had cytokine testing?
I have had three rounds of cytokine testing over the past 2 1/2 years ad my markers remain elevated. Anyone else?

I have CRPS so my cytokines ate aleays elevated. Does insurance pay for that. It indicates inflammation, not covid, as you probably know. You are tje first to say they have had them tested. I should do that but we don't know my normal. I've had the autoimmune chronic pain condition for 43 years.
Does account for much body pain.

1 ReactionAgree, not sure how they would be interpreted with your underlying condition. Originally, no insurance accepted, but I believe that is changing.
I’ve had LC for 3.5 years, but no positive covid test because they were not available back then, and therefore no “long covid” diagnosis. I recently asked my long Covid clinic doctor if there were blood tests that could confirm I have long covid. He said “No”. I later took a “long covid extended panel” offered by Quest Diagnostics, no doctor referral needed. Some values were low or high normal, but the C-Reactive Protein levelv(cykotenes) was above normal.
