I can only tell you what my docs told me. I am unvaxxed. I got over what we assume was delta in four weeks. I didn't require hospitalization but it was rough. That was November. I ran a fever daily (100.1-102.4). I had extreme shortness of breath and muscle weakness in my limbs (according to gadgets I was hitting about 50 steps before I couldn't catch my breath) which led me to days I could either walk or talk, but not both at the same time. On the worst days, I had confusion, dizziness, and lethargy which had me pretty much incapacitated. Ran the gamut of tests, but the docs found nothing at all. Three of them began talking about it being "Long Covid" and I could expect recovery in 6-12 months.

Then it slowly started improving in April. But June (D-Day, as it happens), I was pretty much back to normal.

My wife, also unvaxxed, had it as well. Suprisingly, my teenaged son (also unvaxxedd), had none of it.

I am curious about something. Did they do an LDH isoenzyme panel on you. At most they probably just did total LDH.

LDH isoenzyme panel can be done at Direct labs for $95 if anyone is having problems with Drs taking you seriously about anything. It is a test normally ordered by Researchers. It can tell you tissue damage is happening and what organs to look at....and yes, the LDH total can be normal but the isoform composition abnormal. this happens in cancer as an example.

Thank you. I truly hope the proverbial ‘they’ - come up with a way to treat conditions that are called ‘long covid’. cheers
