I’ve been dealing with Long Covid for a year and a half and it seems like every time they give me a new drug. I have different problems. I am very so fed up with it now I’m on PREDNISONE and now I’m having cramping in my legs so bad that I am in excruciating pain can’t sleep. Just fed up with everything.
And now the doctors telling me to go to the ER to see if I have a blood clot in my leg. I am fed up. I don’t care. There is no support system out there for Long Covid even through the government.

I have joined the COVID-19 Long-Haulers Discussion Group on Facebook. It has been a huge support as so many long haulers are dealing with what you describe. It has saved my sanity over the last 17 months more than once. It took a referral and 9 months to be seen at OHSU COVID LONG HAUL Clinic, but it was worth it. They haven't overprescribed medications and really listen to my symptoms. They admit to still having more questions than answers, but share in depth what they do know to help me understand. I hope you find the right support you need

I agree you should check (at least rule out) any blood clots in your legs, but you’d think your doctor would order those tests for you! Most doctors only know what any test results show them. In my own opinion, most doctors don’t think for themselves. I have had a couple who did, and they saved my life.
