Types Of Long Covid

What's your type?

Did you know that there are (apparently) four types of long covid? They are:

Type 1: Heart, kidney, and circulatory problems
Type 2: Lung conditions, sleep disorders, and anxiety
Type 3: Muscle pain, connective tissue disorders, and nervous system disorders
Type 4: Digestive and respiratory problems

I find that my own symptoms are a mix of all four types, and that my symptoms have changed over time. For example, I used to have a lot of digestive problems, but now I have more muscle pain and nervous system issues.

So, personally, I don't find this categorization very helpful. But I suppose it could be useful for some people and might be improved upon in future.
