I feel your pain, my wife got long covid back before that was at least accepted to be a thing. At first doctors are very dismissive, but gradually there were a critical mass of people able to demonstrate measurable symptoms.

Here is hoping that somehow your friends symptoms pass soon and are mild.

After seeing what long covid can do to a healthy 40yo woman with no preexisting conditions, where no one understands them at first, I can imagine the stress.



I'm sorry to hear that. I hope your wife is feeling better now. Here it's not so much that the doctors are dismissive, they just don't know what it is.

ER neurologist she saw was not very surprised/dismissive, because she apparently went through a nasty reaction to the vaccine herself. And GP was also accepting, did run some diagnostics, but ultimately it's all back to hoping it will resolve by itself (+ as always, some analgesics).
