It must be hard to be struggling with your condition after being so fit and strong and now that it affects your job/career.
I understand the mRNA shots and covid infection/spike protein affects and damages endothelial cells. This could be behind so many symptoms, including muscle mass and strength plus nervous system.
Here is some helpful information. Some is technical but you can glean a general understanding of the injury to endothelial cells caused by Covid.

I've had every shot. I never lost any muscle until I got COVID. I was infected before I went for the 4th shot and came down with Covid days later. Since then muscle mass has been more difficult to maintain but I am 78 which is an age one might expect to lose a small amount of mass. It's long covid so I fight my desire to sit and rest daily.

Thank you for posting 11 links for us to follow to valuable information!
I started with Link #1, an article on the Cleveland Clinic website about Endothelial Cells and how they get damaged. That first article had links to related ones on the Clinic website that were useful to me.
I look forward to following the other ten links you provided!
