FFS, I’ve been deteriorating rapidly the past two months with #LongCovid. One reason I struggle to seek treatments for my symptoms is this: I can’t keep up sympons, specifically potassium (hypokalemia life long), and the ER always pins it on my pre existing MH issues.
I started showing up to the ED for low potassium (at one point in the 2s), and severe sore throat (no structural cause they found).
I have metabolic syndrome from covid (no, not nearly obese, very active and healthy lifestyle until a very recent crash).
My core symptoms are getting worse because I’m taking a diuretic for a condition a doctor doesn’t know how to treat 🤦♂️ Fortunately my surgeon does, who I see Thursday.
The fallacy of Long Covid - too many cooks in the kitchen, and a siloed medical system.
