Thank you for sharing! I wish I got tested for Covid back then, but I just figured it was a bad cold like usual since they always hit me hard. Yes, I try to keep up with PT, but it leaves me more sore/wiped out after for a couple days after, so it really is a delicate dance with not overdoing it but also trying to build strength back. It's ironic since a workout arguably set this all off, yet I'm working out to try to get better. I can do more reps/exercises than when I first got there, so I suppose it must be doing something, right?
That is amazing your son recovered but wild there was never a proper diagnosis. It truly is scary when the professionals can't even provide an explanation/have no answer. It's really hard for me to see everyone around me live their best life in their 20s and I'm just on the sidelines alone. I am constantly grieving my previous life but trying to tell myself I (hopefully) have 60 years ahead, and it has only been 6 months of this even though it feels like eternity. Time will tell.

Yes it does "seem like an eternity". My heart goes out to you as you begin this journey into the unknown. This feels like climbing Mt Everest, when you are the least able to do so.
Continue to hunt down medical answers and treatments, but, I would say, more importantly, build a support system!
You are not alone;amazingly, you will discover who your true friends are. It is vital to have support.
Finding Connect is a brilliant step; here you will find others who understand !
All the best to you.

Have you been tested for Gullian Barre? It also is an auto immune illness and it sounds like your symptoms. Or what about Polymyalgia Rheumatica?
