Autoimmune negative test

this journey started almost 2 years ago. I was diagnosed with covid.  I did my due diligence and stayed home. About a week later i was feeling better. I began to notice heat was making me struggle at times, I was tired and some days i just could not get past the head fog. Since that time, I have tested neg for allergies, diabetic eye issues, heart issues, lung issues, even <1:40 on the ANA. But all the symptoms seem to be getting worse.  I had a Lyme Disease test (normal range is <.9) my antibodies were at .9 (high end of normal). So all that being said, I am almost incapacitated.  I'm severely exhausted (cannot get out of bed some days), Every muscle, bone and joint in my body hurts, legs are weak feeling, my eyes burn constantly, vision is clouded, memory is struggling, my gut hurts/nauseated a lot, gas, severe head fog, headaches, the list goes on.  mental stress is an activator, physical is as well.  sometimes taking 3-4 days to recover enough where i can get up and do daily things. I have never been lazy, unmotivated or just plain so tired i cannot function. My Dr. said I am not dealing with Autoimmune issues and my Lyme Numbers are in the normal range. I see a neurologist in a couple months. Im would love any ideas anyone may have, so I can get back to "Normal"

Yes, see a neurologist, try and rule out rheumatoid arthritis. Best wishes!

First thing I would do, is refuse any covid shots. The last thing your body needs is spike protein to further cause more inflammation within. I wish you the best!!! I would also suggest, getting a low dose nicotine patch and wear that for a week. Nicotine ( not smoking) in a patch has been studied to greatly improve covid symptoms. Keep us posted on how you're doing!!❤️

Sounds like long COVID. As many as 30 to 40% with long covid have reported improvements to their symptoms after a COVID vaccine. Low-dose naltrexone (LDN) has also shown promise in treating long COVID.
