People with long covid regularly get told by doctors that they have anxiety, not long covid. Large chunks of the medical establishment minimizes or disbelieves long covid symptoms. They already do this for MECFS, fibromyalgia, and other post viral illnesses.

Please don't believe this article, it's trying to hide real people's debilitating illnesses so society can go "back to normal".

Half the things on this subreddit are actually not very uplifting and instead dystopian. "Small child pays for cancer treatment through poorly paid labor" and such. This just follows that pattern.

Or people just aren’t reporting long covid as much because the help isn’t there and it costs a lot. I agree with ya

Can you tell my nerves and muscles that? I'd really like to not have to take pills to prevent my pain, thanks.
