Exclusionary diagnosis are always a pain, especially since theyre not anything concrete and provable. Without a proof of cause, theres no potential for cure. Its just symptom management without ever getting control of your disease.

Pretty much.

I fall into that timeline where, we knew LATER that covid was already being transferred from person to person, we just didn't know how much/how rapidly. I got sick early January 2020, and it didn't really become a known "Oh shit it's here" thing until later January 2020. My doctor can only guess, based on symptoms/timing/etc., I obviously didn't get tested at the time, since testing wasn't a thing, but... Yeah. And then the cough issue just makes them more sure, since they're like "Yeah this is probably related to long covid." But, like you said, we can't really nail down a treatment plan/cure, we just revolve around "Well, it's not life threatening, and here's how you can kinda minimize it."

I feel for everybody going through anything long covid related. We're still at the point where they really have no idea how to properly treat things or what to expect.
