I am 36 years old male long hauler, and i am ill over a year. I am living hell. And it isn't about the respiratory system. Before covid i had gi issues like ibs flatulence etc.. but i could live with them. After covid it is like my GI problems started to have their own neurological problems. Involuntarily swallowing (!) started. My tongue and jaw started to loosen. It is unseen. I felt like there was a tremor and tension through my throat-esophagus track. After losing 15 pounds, 3-4 weeks later i got little better and gained my appetite, but then i spit light red blood with stomachache and throatache. I did endoscopy immediately but they didn't find anything. Then everything got worse. I lost my appetite for good over a year. I am experiencing a worsening throatache that no ENT professors can detect with camera. I have examined by over 60 professors. Gastroenterologists, ENT Professors, Neurologists etc.. i did blood tests, endoscopies, colonoscopy, CTs, MRs even EMGs. Throat pain is killing me. Loss of appetite, fatigue.. these are also challenging. I have other symptoms but i dont know how can i bare this throat pain. Gabapentine isn't working. Diclofenac isn't working. Tramadol isn't working. Gargling with morphine is also uneffective. They can not tell any reason other than long covid. Because there are some neurological signs like tongue tremor while i drink something or slightly push my upper teeth to my tongue. But my biggest problems are unexplained and unbeareble throat pain, loss of appetite and moderate fatigue. I am planning to do SGB. What do you think? Can SGB be solution for undetected throat pain? Or do you recommend anything else like middle cervical ganglion block etc.?

Here’s the medical gas lighting he’s talking about… This is where he says that people with ME and fibro have boarderline personality disorder - kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2jHZ42opryCja8
