Yes I did. For me, this started in 2011 when I had a respiratory issue that started muscle weakening. I never fully recovered. It happened again in 2019 and then in 2021 after Covid. She diagnosed me with long covid and an autoimmune disease- CFS since this goes back to 2011 and all start with pulmonary issues. I’m weak & tired all the time. PT helps a bit but not greatly.

I, too, have suffered from what I have come to understand as Post Exertional Malaise (what a mild term for what it does to us) PEM for short.
Check out the Bateman Horne Center on (free) YouTube. You'll see that you are not alone and there are professionals who believe you and who have some answers.
Getting better is not 'black and white' - our bodies are amazing and complex. We have to be our own advocate and there is a lot to learn. I'm a female; 82 years old; and 4 years post-covid. I'm much better than I was 2 or 3 years ago. It does take time and it is a process.
I see recovery as a 3-legged stool: #1 Nutrition/Supplementation #2 Lifestyle Change #3 Meditation and Brain Training
You can also glean a lot of information from the (free) YouTube site of Raelan Agle and the free YouTube site of Gemma at Healing Gems.
My best to you.
