Long covid without a positive covid test or antibodies ?

[ablutiions]

Has anyone else had long covid , without a definitive positive test or antibodies ? How did your long covid get diagnosed?

I've been ill for 4 months with what seemed like covid, but tested negative (multiple PCR and LFT). Subsequent bloods show no antibodies. I'm double vaxxed.

Back in Feb 2020 I had a very nasty virus (all covid symptoms except loss of smell) and was ill for about 3 months. No testing available at that time.

I currently have cough, tight and sore chest, exhaustion, dizziness and feeling spaced out, palpitations, very croaky, sore throat. All of these symptoms wax and wane and have been going for 4 months now.

I know it could be another virus and the dr is doing more tests.

It feels never ending. I'm usually a fit, active person and I'm just floored even when doing mundane things.

Any insights or advice will be much appreciated. Thanks covid hive-mind.

@Timeisavirtue I'm not being patronising. I'm asking a genuine question. How likely is it to have Covid but multiple pcr tests are negative? There are lots of other things that op could have.

@shouldistop because the medics think I've had it ?

We

Same here. My diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms. I don't suppose any of us actually want long covid!
