Have you both been tested for POTS. Your descriptions remind me of who I was 3 months ago. For over 3 years, I had significant PEM and major exercise limitations. Finally, my Neurologist tested me for POTS (Tilt Table Test), diagnosed me with POTS, and now, I'm taking a med called Pyridostigmine. I am back to my full energy self. A friend reported that she heard on the news that Long Covid patients are diagnosed with POTS 5x more than the general population.
Hope this information helps.

I've had two tilt tables, no POTS. First tilt revealed "some level of dysautonomia", and second said "no dysautonomia". What the medical professionals told me was that the difference (they were separated by about 1 year) was that my body was healing.

Never even heard of POTS. Thanks for the info!
