"The problem with coming up with accommodations for long COVID is that there are so many unknowns. The duration and severity of symptoms varies wildly from person to person."

Then what evidence do they have to say these are symptoms of "long Covid," as opposed to something else, e.g., a kind of hypochondria or depression?

I’m thinking it all comes down to the agenda of these “experts”.

Many Clinicians are woefully ignorant on how to diagnose disease if you don’t fit into a neat category.

I have been through a year of diagnosis hell. I have no doubt many of them thought I was a hypochondriac.

I recently had an appointment with a specialist. He said,”I see that Rheumatology did some testing on you and couldnt find anything to explain your positive ANA test. To which I said, that is because that Dr. didnt listen to me and didnt do the right tests...but a Dr at another facility did listen to me and found I have tested positive for autoimmune diseases that the first Dr didn’t bother to test for in that panel of tests.

The look on his face was hilarious
