It has been followed by a swarm of long covid symptoms. I tested negative for covid at the time - but I think I had a variant that the test didn't pick up. There are clusters of minor variants around all of the major variants, since the virus mutates freely. <br /><br />I went to five different doctors over a couple of months to try to find some relief - a pulmanologist, dermatologist, gastroenterologist, cardiologist and internist - to see if any of them could identify the underlying cause of the nasty symptoms I'd been having - and none of them had a clue, after sending me for lots of tests. <br /><br />So I hunted down an acupuncturist, and lucked out. I found a nice guy, probably the best acupuncturist I've ever been to, who has been treating the underlying causes of my symptoms as understood in Chinese medicine, which is very strange when compared to western medicine. Nevertheless, my breathing is greatly improved, my skin problems have begun to disappear (among other things, my body hair had mostly disappeared - and now it's growing back, a bit patchy but completely unexpected), my insides have quieted down and my mental fog is lifting. <br /><br />So if you have problems after your initial illness, and western doctors can't help, I'd suggest using your contacts to find a good acupuncturist - I know there are some good ones in NYC. Good luck with it all!
