I’m a long hauler. I have COVID scarring all over my lungs. After several months, I am off the inhalers but still need steriods occasionally.

It also damaged my kidneys. Thankfully, I no longer need Cipro.

The biggest hit was to my endocrine system. It was depleted. I went on a regiment of progesterone, an estrogen cream, and testosterone boosters.

That made all the difference in the world. Huge energy boost. Brain fog went away. Libido is back.

Went from clear lungs to COPD to Emphysema in 8 months. Last lung functionality test put me back at Stage 1.

Wow, sounds like a rough go, to say the least. What was your condition prior to getting Covid? Did you have comorbidities or were you in good health?
