I am so damn tired

Hi, I had Covid Christmas 2023.
Very first symptom was a very strong facial pain - which now persists. Loss of taste (partially). Took Paxlovid, (experienced a rebound, tested positive for 18 days altogether) ran a high fever for 5 nights, felt really ill, recovered okay initially. PCPs treated it like sinusitis, I feel I am not taken seriously because I never had any lung related issues, no cough, despite being asthmatic and allergic (pollen). Fatigue and exhaustion did start about ten days after I finally tested negative. After a couple of good days and two hours working from home this Friday, I have now been going through a terrible rebound of terrible fatigue/exhaustion/anxiety and am deeply worried that this will never get better again.
Has anyone had a similar experience at this stage of the illness? Does it get better? Also: can anyone relate to the facial pain? (55 year old formerly very fit female).

You probably had no pulmonary issues because you were on dosages of aathma controllers, prevent, possibly singular, and antihistimines.

All things used to treat Covid.

Fatigue, exhaustion, loss of energy: Long Covid
Do not overexert or exert yourself. This takes enegy from your body in recovery. One can not overcome the body repair cycle, one must let the body recover, then slowly, in short periods, with limited stations, and low weight or resisitance begin to test oneself and determine if it is time to walk into that next recovery period. One will know if you are not ready. The brick wall just after exercise, hours after, the next day or two will tell you.

The facial pain, if subsurface, such as sinuses, is Covid, it improves generally over some weeks for most. If this is the symptom, or one can not tell, then gently tap on your fourhead, on the cheeks just inside cheek bone. If this is tender or hurts, the sinuses havs inflamation. Take generic zyrtec or generic allegra. Chlorotab overlap with one of these fixes my facial sinus pain or headache.

If not this symptom, then I am not sure I understand the symptom, skin, below skin, certain areas, etc.

Eat well, low to no carb, no sugar, vegetables of green tomatoes, peppers (sweet of hot), eggplant, celery, cauliflower, asparagus, broccoli, garlic, cilantro, brussel sprouts, etc. There are specific reasons for these, phytochems. Water, coffee, unweet tea should be the hydration focus. No energy drinks.

This may or may not appear to help, but it will in time.

I have been dealing with Long Covid since late December 2020. I have had many overlapping Covid episodes. Long has never ended for me, the new infection covers over Long and then is enhanced with the new Long Covid from a different strain..

Pace yourself, read the Book of Psalms, get good sun light at least an hour a day as possible.

Vit D3
Vit C
Cinammon
Korean ghensing
Ginko biloba
Magnesium

All these help me.
