Have you been cured of POST COVID?

Got COVID May 1, 2022. While the congestion cleared in the 2 weeks, the fatigue (limbs felt so heavy, I was crawling to the bathroom) and sore throat with swollen glands lasted for 3-4 months. After that, the gastrointestinal issues and Post Exertional Malaise with fatigue and shortness of breath have continued. Learning to pace and stay under my energy level has been the biggest help in keeping the pain manageable. But I am far from where my life was before COVID. I can't work, as I can only do things in 10-20-minute segments with 30-60-minute rest periods in between. Even sitting here on the computer is a struggle. I need my head supported, my neck is still weak. I've tried many supplements recommended by other victims of COVID, and none have helped. I have plateaued. I'm not getting worse, but I'm not getting better either.

I got covid April 2021 and have had long covid ever since. After 10 months my health collapsed and was in free fall. I started taking Low Dose Naltrexone and that stopped the free fall, but the plateau left me much like you describe - pretty severely debilitated. Then I started taking Abilify. That has led to about a 75% reduction in symptoms - life changing improvement!
