I had a bad respiratory infection in January 2020, heart problems ever since. I can still check most of the boxes for POTS, though fainting spells after exertion are becoming rare. I also wake up with jitteriness. It feels like intestinal spasms, I've experienced it before as a hangover effect from way too much booze but now it happens almost daily and I rarely drink.
I've also seen an unusual number of acquaintances develop chronic fatigue over the last couple years who just can't figure out why. Even 30 months or more in, we don't understand the disease well enough to say that's not an effect from covid. Dr. Mobeen Syed has been my main source of information. He's closely followed the research of long covid and theories of causal mechanisms and continues to modify his own theory and protocol.
I think much of the pushback on long covid is from those worried it will be used as a reason to return to public health tyranny, but they can do that without any justification at all. There is no good reason to demean those who think they're suffering from it.
