The tough part is like "on a scale of 1-10, how severe is your pain?" when each of us has different impact.

I work for myself and have for years. Now, I must work less and have to make adjustments to much of my life to, as you do, hear, or move about.

So as you note, is is degrees of long COVID - and still I'd be glad to just have it recognized v. dismissed.

Certainly it needs to be recognized.

The one to ten assessment is tough because I might rate something a one or two and another might consider the same disability a ten. I think better to ask how it has changed your ability to function.
Even then, some people might have more ability to “push through” symptoms.

Early on, I was able to continue my life even while being pretty seriously impaired. I can’t do it anymore. My symptoms are worse, but part of it is also exhaustion from dealing with my condition.
After two years for me, I just can’t deal with life anymore.
