Hello Jeremy I am so sorry to hear this. Coming off a long night shift so I'll post more if I think of it. Having worked in two hospitals hit hard outside NYC I have seen firsthand and all too many times what this virus does.
We have too many healthcare workers who followed your course and you will be glad to hear they are all back to work. Extreme exhaustion, extreme weight loss, and lots of diffuse pain are a common complaint. The body seems to go into a dangerous kind of overdrive metabolically and if you are one of the critically ill then immunologically as well. Thankfully it seems you avoided the latter. The critically ill were all given consistent doses of Vit C, Vit D, Zinc, and Thiamine (Vit B1). I take all of these preventative with the addition of NAC or N-acetyl cysteine which can be acquired in pill form and is given to pts in ARDS (a common complication of Covid). I would suggest these - hopefully they are readily available for you. For those having breathing issues we recommend, and if critically ill demand, that patients lie prone for as long as they can. Obviously it is important you use support to make sure you don't impede breathing. It can't hurt and I would do it if I was in your situation though not for any extreme amount of time but if you're lying in bed anyways then spend some time in that position. Don't hesitate to practice deep diaphramatic breathing. It helps move the crap the virus might be generating deep in your lungs out. There are of course consideration for those around you as far as wearing a mask or minimizing the spread of aerosals. Good luck. At the end many colleagues reported a feeling of 'jumping out of their skin' even feeling the need to exercise to burn off excess energy.
