How do you get some answers

Posted by sm80 @sm80, 23 hours ago

I started having health issues in 2021 starting with fatigue then adding in GI issues, recurring SIBO/IMO, increased anxiety, brain fog and concentration issues, ringing in my ears, and increasing blood pressure. I had very mild COVID and only had the home tests nothing lab confirmed, and I did have several rounds of mRNA vaccine before I had COVID. I've been bouncing around between doctors and specialists and all tests have come back normal. I have asked about a possible COVID connection to what I have going on and it pretty much gets dismissed right away and the topic changes. I don't even know that long covid is what I'm dealing with but I have my suspicions. Any suggestions on how to try to get to the bottom of why I have all of these new issues and how to get on the path to feeling better?

Not sure where you live but Mayo in Rochester has a Long covid clinic. I went there and it was wonderful. It does sound, from my experience, that they would accept you as a patient.

i would bet you have long covid based on these symptoms.
i have been where you are, going through every blood test, lots of CT and MRI scans and finding everything inside normal. looking for everything without accepting the obvious.
there is a lot of good information on this site. follow up on the links that relate to you. it will give you ammunition to deal with your health providers. continue to be insistent. thank them for their concern and all they doing for you.
last year my health provider set up a Long Covid group in my area. i was referred to it and it has been very helpful.
this process takes good luck and persistence.
