Diagnosed with LC today.....

This was a hill I thought I was going to die on. For FiVE years I've been trying to get a doctor to hear me..that I never felt well after having covid for five literal months.....That I was an active person, that I never had anxiety and sure as shit not somatic anxiety like I do now. That I never had issues with PEM or CFS or brain fogs or AHDH flare ups pre covid ....

I quit smoking and it literally blew the lid off everything. I felt like was nearing a point where the only way out was to just end this shit show that had become daily life.......And then I got referred to this doc.......

And we talked for two hours....and for the first time I felt heard. He wasn't saying oh it's just anxiety or oh you're 46 it's perimopause and of course anxiety again......

I realize I have a long road of trialing his medical and lifestyle suggestions. But I am SO happy I am here. I literally cried in his office....broke down actually ..when he said you have long covid with Dysautonomia....I wept like a damn child in there......

I'm thankful to be here.
