I don’t have personal experience, but I’ve heard that almost everyone who applies for SS disability is turned down on first try.

An extensive group of papers on the subject:

You could try enteric nattokinase, it’s hypothesized to work because it dissolves fibrin. It’s a protein so it needs to be protected from stomach acids:

It’s a shot in the dark because its bioavailability is in question, but if all else fails…

I am so sorry to read of your trouble you have been suffering.
I do pray for strength for you and that your SS problems will be resolved. Housing will open up... praying all in Jesus’ Precious Name.

On a side note I have suffered a lot with fatigue since my long covid. Never diagnosed as that but I got Covid in October 2021, 3 days after my hubby’s memorial. It lasted from October to February 2022 when I finally was able to get up out of bed.
Never had lung problems or pneumonia, but the weakness has bothered me for a LONG time. I’ve dealt with confusion, depression, and many other side affects.
I did take Ivermectin and zinc.

I also suffered a lot with insomnia for a while and just this last month have been sleeping again almost through the night. SO I DO understand your post!!
PRaying much for you.
I am taking a lot of natural vitamins.

Father, in the Name of Jesus, you see Ducttape’s condition and his dilemma. You are Lord of all, and nothing is too difficult for You. I ask that You touch him from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, and heal him completely, body, soul and spirit, and meet every need in his life. Amen.
The military is notorious for dragging out disability claims. We have a friend who is a Vietnam vet and finally got disability for PTSD after years of applying and attending counseling. He felt like they were waiting for him to have an emotional breakdown right in front of them, before approving him, but he was determined to maintain his dignity. I told him to give them what they want. I don’t know if that’s what he did, but he did finally get it approved.

it is said that viruses can kick off Chronic Fatigue- and I’m not sure- but I think that is what happened with me some 30 years ago-

Your dizziness can confusion may very well be “Brain Fog” which can get so bad as to be pretty debilitating mentally- Brain Fog goes with Chronic fatigue

There is something called PEM (Post Exertional Malaise) that goes with Chronic Fatigue-= You’ll know you have it if you can do something like maybe rake a small yard even though you are weak, and feel not to bad the next day, but then wham- the third day get hit with overwhelming exhaustion and weakness- if that keeps happening to you- than that may be the cause- IF you do experience that- then a life of pacing yourself will be in order- learning to say no to others because it will take too much out of you- knowing when to stop something before you pay the price 2 days later-

Chronic Fatigue is no joke- it sucks! As someone with it said once “The Good news is that it won’t kill you... The bad news is that it won’t kill you”

Sorry you are going through it- IF it is what i have, God has allowed me to have 30 years of it so far- I don’t know if that is what i have or not- Docs don’t either- but the symptom,s of PEM are spot on-

FATHER GOD,

Thank you for ducttape45’s service to our nation. There is no greater love than to lay down ones live for their friends. (John 15:13). Thank you he was willing to give his all for his nation.

Long Covid, tinitis, and deafness have names that must bow to the Name of JESUS. In JESUS’ Name we take authority over every ailment, cancel their assignments on ducttape45, and command to leave, never to return. May HOLY SPIRIT fill ducttape45 and cleanse every cell in his body.

Give him good, restful sleep, so he awakens and feels renewed.

We believe ducttape45 will not need VA disability statys, because he is healed by the blood of the LAMB.

To GOD be the glory. Great things He has done.

In JESUS’ Name we pray. AMEN.

I've observed as my wife processed through retirement last year. Lots of details around pension, social security, medicare. She is still having problems decoupling from her former employment healthcare insurance and the coverage I had for her as well and redirecting all of it to Medicare. We are 10 months into the process for her and it is still not fully settled. I opted not to retire to ensure stable income while her retirement changes settle. That worked out fine as I just received a cancer diagnosis. Yippee! I still have life and health insurance. Patience and steady hammering on the government agencies will eventually get you squared away. It might be helpful to find a competent lawyer to sort out the SSDI issues.

Do some careful research before relocating a place that fits your income.Ensure that your health issues are capable of support in the new location. I had two rounds of COVID as well. I had some of the same symptoms. The only long term problem seems to be a blood clot from above my left knee to my ankle. Plain old COVID can do that. Condolences on the "long COVID". I suspect long COVID for many people is mitochondrial dysfunction. Pursue some fixes that direction.

Sorry for your "long covid" problems, and I will be praying for you.

I've seen previous posts on FR where the poster was a scoffer, and did not believe that "long covid" was a real thing, even when confronted with all those genuine symptoms like chronic fatigue, loss of sense of taste and smell, severe stomach problems, nervous system problems, etc.   But I know two very dear, reliable, honest people who had/have it, and it is real.

I don't have any advice to share with you , but I will if I ever come across anything helpful, and I would ask you to do that for me also, through FReepmail.

One article I found very interesting was this one:   "HANSON: The mysteries of long COVID" by Victor Davis Hanson

Take care, and may God bless you and heal you.
