Welcome @allicatguy. Your symptoms sound very much like long Covid.
"A negative COVID-19 test means the test did not detect the virus, but this doesn’t rule out that you could have (had) an infection." (Source https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/testing.html)
This is a dilemna that other long haulers have faced too like @cathusa @ameed @otter2154 @bbartolotto @otter2154 and others

With two Pfizer shots and one Pfizer booster I probably have COVID antibodies so testing for antibodies would not be conclusive whether or not I actually had COVID. Is there another test available to show whether I actually had COVID or not? My GP and neurologist didn't think so.

Hi...and thanks for responding. I looked back in my medical records and the test I had was a Transcription Medicated Amplification (TMA). According to the paperwork this test, according to the CDC, is equivalent to a PCA test. No, I did not get a second test. Doc was satisfied with first test results.
