Anyone experiencing muscle atrophy/muscle wasting due to Long COVID?

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.

To mspaminreno —
Thank you for your detailed comments about you (age) and your long experience of PEM. And for the resource references and your 3-factor approach to recovery.
I’m 75, and I’m encouraged when I read about the high pre-Covid activity levels of people who are 70-90 years old, and their active approaches to dealing with the limitations now imposed by LC.
