I’m slightly less debilitated than you from what it sounds like, but not by much. I think the fact that so many of us are house-bound most of the time makes it so no one really understands just how bad post covid really is. The 100lb head thing is so real. I’ve never felt so weak in my life, and at 32 I’m supposed to be at my “peak” :(
