Yes. The symptoms you describe are not the same as mine, but in the end, many of us are stuck at home and unable to work thanks to Covid. Some of the responses resonate. I have not been able to work in over a year; I am close to retirement age, and have applied for disability.
I got Covid in 2020 - I did not have any respiratory issues. My symptoms were amnesia and fatigue. Long Covid started right away, with nerve pain, memory issues, and insomnia. Two years in I lost my appetite and lost 1/3 of my body weight. A year later I am gaining it back.
At times I have felt I am ‘over’ long Covid, but the reality in my case is covid has done serious neurological damage. In 2023 I had a seizure that got me hospitalized and diagnosed with Epilepsy. Turns out my initial Covid symptom - amnesia in 2020 - was actually a mild seizure. It took Covid 3 years to evolve from a memory lapse into Epilepsy. If you have problems with memory, sleep, nerve pain, balance, nearly falling, or fainting, see a Neurologist.
Keeping a log helps - it provides docs with excellent information to diagnose and treat. Covid symptoms are so different for so many people, focus on your issues - there is plenty of evidence out there linking Covid to ailments you describe.
Good luck to all.

I have Post Vaccination Syndrome (PVS). Have never had Covid but was injured by the jab. Primary symptom is severe, debilitating weakness. I can barely walk. Shuffle across the floor without lifting my feet and support myself against the walls. My muscles are atrophied and my heart is weak. Found relief with Plavix and Nattokinase but the relief was temporary. No one here in the province of New Brunswick, Canada has any idea how to help. In fact, Canada is a wasteland in treating PVS. Am resigned to slowly fading away unless I can find help.

I thought all my weird symptoms were LC.
It turned out I have ET, Essential Thrombocytosis, a form of chronic leukemia AND POTS, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.
Might I suggest seeing a doc who is a great diagnostisn and runs all kinds of tests. For 2 yrs I suffered at home without the correct diagnoses!
So many illnesses have common features that it’s important to keep checking.
Don’t let any doctor tell you it’s in your head - you know when something is wrong!
Good luck and don’t get discouraged.
