You're not alone. I got covid at the end of July 2020 as well and I've been totally debilitated since then. Was 33 and healthy/active. Now 36 with the stamina and functionality of a very old sick person. You should try testing resting lactic acid levels. It's the only thing that came back as out of wack. They think high resting lactic acid levels is causing some persistent longcovid symptoms (though not all).

Check micro clotting on YouTube too. They're a blood levels so now that I think of it I'm not sure my doctor ever did them. Hmm.

The long covid Clinic ordered pool therapy for me. I went three times and it was exhausting just getting in and out of a bathing suit especially a wet one.

By the time I got in my car my oxygen was so low I was too confused to drive sometimes for an hour or two I'd sit in the parking lot outside the pool therapy building. And really nothing she was doing it was addressing any of my covid issues.

I quit after three times sadly. And as I've been saying I am 68, I've been a disabled nurse my entire life so it's not like I've been running marathons and lost what you have. I am so sorry you're so young going through this and I hope you have more understanding people in your life than I feel that I do.

People in my life just get tired of hearing it so i just shut up. On the other hand I just now got off the ladder taking my curtains down so I guess that's good? It's my one thing for today but it was something. How so I'm doing a load of laundry so that's amazing. Today I put away laundry that I folded last week. Lol. At some point it's just the little things and sometimes I just need to laugh at the absurdity of life and really glad that my insurance pays for therapy and that unfortunate enough to have a therapist who lives with chronic health conditions and treats people with chronic health conditions. I feel very fortunate in the long run...walk.

As I said above we have each other who get it. Namaste for good days huh? I've been needing to wash my curtains forever now if I can just get the sheets back on my bed from last week. My best.
