I don't know what to do anymore

Agree! Agree!! Agree! The one thing I just don’t get, is that so many people are suffering the same symptoms and they all seem to be related to Covid, but what I don’t get is how tests come back normal. For instance, I have constant postnasal drip which I can prove because the “snot” is present and accounted for as proven to the doctor, however CT scan comes back showing everything is normal. The proof is right there, but the test shows normal. Hair loss the same way. The proof is there, no doubt about it, but all tests to explain hair loss come back perfectly normal. Fast heartbeat, normal test results. On and on. I just don’t get proveable symptoms, yet normal test results. What is it about Covid that causes very tangible, proveable symptoms, but normal results. It makes no sense to me. Makes me feel like a complainer and a hypochondriac.

God Bless You! You are not a hypochondriac....if you are, so am I! COVID can wreak havoc on us in many different ways. My bloodwork was all over the place after COVID. They thought my pitutary gland had stopped working and that I need a liver ultrasound. Two months later, all my bloodwork was normal. Also, my A1C was high for the first time....doctor thought I was prediabetic....It was COVID. All the symptoms you have sound like "long COVID". I went to a long COVID clinic and was diagnosed last year after months of a lot of what you are describing. I didn't go back due to the time, drive and all that is involved to see so many different doctors. I am going to an integrative medicine doctor and he is trying to help me with Long Covid. No disrespect to the medical field, but, they are all learning how to deal with long COVID symptoms as it is new and they are not versed presently on what to do for it. It did a number on my lungs, arthritis, sinus and GERDS. That is getting better and I am grateful. It takes time. I had COVID again last October. I lost my taste completely for coffee...it is so bitter to me now. The fatigue is still hanging on from COVID. Rest when you can. Rest is healing. Praying for you. I care.
