Do you have a diagnosis yet? Sounds like it's a hard to categorize condition, likely chronic? Chronic illness can be very difficult to diagnose (correctly), as it's tough to know which symptoms are closer to the root cause when there's so many symptoms. Do you think there's a root cause (or a couple) to your cluster of symptoms? Do you think there's some testing that can help you identify some of the root causes?
I'm sure you've done testing for your health, but it can often be very difficult to do thorough testing in Canada. In my experience, you reeally have to press your doctors to get thorough testing, beyond just cursory basic panels for e.g. liver, immunity, etc. I understand they're triaging and saving public resources, but it's not ideal for patients.Likewise, a lot of OHIP-covered tests aren't the most up-to-date, which causes an industry for naturopathic tests to try and fill the gaps, but you obviously have to be careful which of those tests are actually good or not (but still there's some good non-OHIP covered tests you can do too).
idk, obviously I don't know too much about your health, but if I were in your shoes, and in a sense I can relate (going through my own health journey, but aren't we all?), I would be doing as much testing as possible to try and identify root causes and get those fixed. I expect that is what you are doing, but I know how hard it can be to navigate the health system and actually get proper testing.
In regards to your point on variant meaning vaccine resistant, that's a good point. Vaccines (the current iteration) necessarily have to try and predict the strains they're targeting, because the viruses evolve so quickly. But there's specificity and more generalized types of immunity in the body. We've got lots of immune systems and they're tuned in different ways. You can probably get more in-depth testing to see how these specific, relatively independent immune systems are functioning in your body if you want to try and figure out how at-risk you are for covid or long-covid. Again, I'm sure you are doing significant testing as obviously you care a lot for your health, but I would encourage you to press your primary care doctor to do more in-depth testing, and also consider some of the naturopathic tests (ignore their solutions, just use their lab tests), because they can also provide valuable insight into root causes.
Oh, I got a good neurologist back in Hungary thirty years ago who over two years have sorted what's wrong and set me up and I have been symptom free since 1997 and then I added diabetes T2 on top of a couple years back, all of this is known. That's not the problem, thanks.
