Its just regular tests put together in a panel.
Amusing to me because i had put together a set pf blood tests i am going to ask for next week. And i then saw it is very similar to the post covid panel!
The only difference is I had VEGF on my list but it was not on theirs plus they had hsCRP on their list whilst I did not have it on mean. The reason for latter is mine is never elevated (genetic thing) so i never ask for it.
I did not order my set because i have long covid. I do not. But since i have hair loss and multiple infections im checking the usual suspects- vitamins, thyroid, cbc So not sure what theyre thinking- its like theyre saying anyone who has long covid is just suffering from garden variety thyroid or other similar common disorder. Theres no attempt at anything less basic. At least i added VEGF which bears on blood vessel health Wonder if its a way to placate long covid sufferers. Look like theyre doing something when they are not doing anything at all. Assuming docs even know about the package of tests. Maybe at the local university pist covid clinic they have here
By the way, I think one of my doctors is hoping I will fire him
