Ditto. I think I may have had COVID very early on - no proof bec no tests but I traveled 3/9-12/2020 and spoke at and attended a conference. Planes, long layovers at airports, and the conference. Always tired after travel. Multi-vaccinated when I got COVID WITH symptoms end of March 2023. And yes, at now 77, I look at what is normal aging and what is post-COVID.
What is tough and this is to a few comments is that it took a year for the depressive aspect of this to hit. I simply cannot do even what I could up to end of March 2023. Aches and pains have been added to and it is NOT normal for those of us who were reasonably ok.
Grateful to a number of folks among this group sharing. It is a very tough fight to get docs to even pay attention . They are not doing even the min. research of google alerts.

Yes, before Covid I felt a very “young” 72. Able to do whatever I wanted. For the first six months I continued on fairly normally, but over time the symptoms started to take me down.
I have mostly sensory and digestive issues. Hearing, vision, balance, and bowel issues. I have had so many treatments and doctors, I can’t even remember it all anymore.
Now, I am barely able to bathe and take care of my personal needs. I am fortunate to have a husband who has stuck with me, and taken up the tasks I can no longer accomplish.
I have very little pain for which I am thankful.
Still, I am incapacitated by dizziness, and malfunctioning eyes and ears. I also suffer from tinnitus and hyperacusis which makes it doubly hard to be around people in normal settings. It’s as if my body is broken, and no longer knows how to function.
Life is passing me by, because I can no longer participate. And, as you say, after two years a heavy depression has settled on me.
