Argh! I hope someone else here has some better ideas!

Did you try any lung specialist? CT scan? If they put you on a ventilator, I wonder if that could have done mechanical damage, rather entirely biological

Oh, and no vent. They said I would need to go on one and I said absolutely not. I’m surprise they respected my wishes.

Honestly, for 15 years Ispent time in doctors offices (GP, ear nose throat, eye...) trying to find out what I now know is Vestibular Migrains, which I happen to run across on a fitness channel YouTube video. The condition is managed by diet and head/eye movement. Anyway, my faith in the medical system is gone. Every time I’d go, drs wanted to prescribe medication. My wife stopped seeing the dr a decade ago for the same reason. She has severe allergies and was on 4 medications that the dr said she would never get off of. She went to natural, organic food, and away from eating junk, and within a year was off all medications. Still today has not needed to carry an epipen, take an inhaler or even a drop of Benadryl. Anyway, I’m disenchanted with tests, non-diagnoses and pill pushing, while spending thousands of dollars for no answers. Sorry if this sounds like complaining, I truly appreciate your concern and suggestions! Perhaps as more studies come out about long Covid there may be more information to glean.
