Take care - I hope you get to improve. My wife got covid back in March 2020 and was pretty ill, then fell into full long covid (back before anyone knew what it was). She was totally wiped out (I have posts on my account detailing it if you are interested), but is finally back working and living again - so please know the recovery is possible for some. She's still not where she'd like to be, but is vastly improved from her worst.

Best of luck to you.

Thank you. I am always trying new treatments but so far nothing besides resting had an impact. Make sure your wife does not get reinfected.

Unfortunately she has had it 3 more times since the first, but lucky they have passed her fairly smoothly. On my more recent infection I've started to get joint pain on my left side - which is fun - I'm only 43 and suddenly see why old people wince when they get up or climb down something. Sure will pass, but this virus sure is weird.
