Thank you for picking up this topic. I have been working with two people who struggle with this syndrome and was struck especially by the 80’s information and do remember it actually. Ironically, one of these women was given disability status, not because of her extreme physical findings, but for her behavior disorder. Whatever! She is unable to work. She had Covid-19 in 2020 with lingering problems and thought getting the vaccine would help. After each dose her previous problems became more exaggerated. She elected to try ivermectin since none of her physicians had offered anything to help. None had done a physical exam including those at the post Covid clinic even though some of her problems were visible. If I did not have before and after photos, I would be skeptical of reports of her improvements. Within 24hrs she had dramatic improvements and more continued to occur. I knew her to have behavioral issues before this, but doubt they would account for her Raynaud’s hands, Ehlers Danlos-like hypermobility, or urinary bladder retention to mention a few. After a course of IVM, bladder function normalized, her hands are normal color, and her musculoskeletal system was responding to therapy. She powers through trying to get back to normal; others would have given up faced with the same issues.
The second woman saw some relief from her POTS symptoms after a short course of IVM, but her fatigue and cardiac symptoms persist. “I’ve aged 10 years this year.” She continues her EMT teaching position despite it all.
People such as these need physicians who are curious enough to listen, do actual physical exams and address each set of unique problems appropriately. Too many “systems” physicians practice cookie cutter EMR medicine clicking through the drop down boxes. Mental health is impacted by impaired physical health no doubt. Every condition has a psychological component.
Thankfully there are a few physicians who have found diagnostic labs which help direct therapies. Dr Been has YouTube videos addressing these patients. https://youtu.be/XX30o9GOQiE
The frustrating part remains. If people are treated early, hospitalizations and long term consequences (death or disability) could be avoided. We must continue to press for early treatment using safe, effective repurposed drugs to reduce mortality and prevent permanent disability. We must seek out physicians who care to practice the art and science of healing.

If you are interested. Stephen Buhner has detailed herbal protocols for long covid. We've used it very successfully for several patients
