Not a doctor by any means… Sorry you have to go through this, sounds pretty terrible. Anecdotally, long covid can give you autoimmune symptoms, especially if you had some other low-key autoimmune issues already, and the symptoms you describe certainly sound like it could be an autoimmune reaction. One way to test it might be to try some of the medications used to control MS, lupus and other chronic autoimmune diseases and see if they make a difference. Of course, if you have an ongoing active viral infection these can backfire, so… talk to your doctor.

Thanks for this! I’ll ask my PCP the next time I see him (hopefully soon here).
