I know I said, "its' too late for me," but that's due in part to my current health and long term Covid ravaging my body, creating numerous symptoms, being alone and in many aspects due to having no acknowledgement, support or help from any and all doctors. I've branded as this just being "anxiety." So, if and when I see a new doctor, hoping they can help, my chart is red flagged as Dx for anxiety and also jumping around seeing numerous doctors. The last nurse told me as such, so they rush me off - even at 89 lbs. If they were in my shoes and going this, you can bet your bottom dollar they would be trying to find a doctor to help.

When I was in the hospital, they dismissed me the next day telling me to follow with PCP, who is horrible, I begged for them to help with no luck. When they wanted to give me blood thinners (can you imagine!) because they said all patients are provided this drug because of being in bed, I refused and said I will find the strength get up and walk around. They looked at that as me wanting to walk off the calories! I didn't need to be on blood thinners.

I keep a food diary since they don't believe I eat every hour to try and gain weight, I even brought in a friend who told the doctor how much I eat, they don't' believe me and said so, even though it was documented in the hospital everything I ate. The answer from the GI I saw due to my concern with the weight loss, I need a feeding tube. What they need to do is find out "why" I'm losing the weight and not absorbing my nutrients, especially given the extreme pain in my abdomen. Several days ago, I was awakened during the night with excruciating pain in my abdomen and there was nothing I could do. If I went to ER, they'll send me home, even though I have a Inguinal hernia. I now have low B-12, low ferritin, low zinc, chalazion that developed and became infected, requiring two surgeries, etc and they don't care. When I try so hard to tell them "anxiety" wouldn't cause the above mentioned, etc they ignore me.

I so badly want to post my plea for anyone on this forum who lives in Wisconsin to please refer me to a doctor who knows about long term covid and can help. I don't know where else to turn 🙁

Love & Hugs to all for your true compassion. I pray our Dear Lord to help us all during this difficult time.

I pray every day for our Dear Lord to hear my prayers and help me.
