I relate to all you've said and what everyone else here is saying as well. It is so frustrating to have to educated medical professional about Long Covid and how LC is affecting me and explaining WHY I need x test or y treatment protocol. Fortunately, I have a wonderful PMC who "gets" LC, understands and refers me out to myriad specialists for treatment. (With so many different LC symptoms - the NIH has documented over 200(?!) - and every person being different, it's no wonder there're no LC treatments yes. My eyes raised and I laughed about your comment about "party in my fat cells". Probably!! Fasting helped. One of my many LC symptoms was getting daily migraine-like headaches. After a 3(?) week fast 18 months agao they stopped (unexpectedly) and never came back. LC also gifted me nonstop, often excruciating, muscle and joint pain, pain, pain. Docs prescribed mega dosage levels pf ibuprofen, acetaminophen (Tylenol) and oxycodone that I ate like candy to keep the pain at bay. I completed a 6 week fast the middle of last month. Also, unexpectedly, the muscle and joint pain diminished so significantly that it feels almost non-existent. The pain meds have been untouched since the fast. Fingers crossed that that particular pain doesn't come back and I can plan to fast again in a few months. Now, back to making my LC follow up appts for my sleep study and the cardiologist, pulmonologist, gastroenterologist, ophthalmologist, etc., etc., etc.,..
