To further this, is "long COVID" actually something we can definitively diagnose? Clearly something is going on with Dianna, but if the symptoms or severity don't match other long COVID cases perhaps there is something else going on there.
- garganzol 2y agoUsual blood work panel tends to be excellent for post covid suffers. So no widely available diagnostic abilities so far, except looking for hallmark symptoms and trying to get slightest hints from the blood work variations. Potentially, for mild and heavy forms of post-covid, measuring blood lactate and bicarbonate levels may be helpful [0]. But nobody seems to care enough to follow up with organized evaluations to introduce it into general practice.
