Summary
Reported long COVID after four COVID infections, the worst being Omicron in 2022; over two years tingling spread through both hands, arms, legs and feet and turned into pain, with months of severe neck pain. Gabapentin, Lyrica and prednisone all failed, and they were told to see a specialist but there was none in their area, leaving them feeling lost and depressed.

Their path
They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
