Long covid / CFS / chronic fatigue as a pro athlete

Hi, My name is Ben. I've always been very sporty and was a pro alpine skier for Germany.

About 11 months ago I got really sick and I never fully recovered.

I have been to dozends of doctors and physicians none of which helped me. I am on a strict program for pacing but whenever I do just a bit more than I crash. I’ve tried fasting but it hasn’t helped either.

I don't have a diagnosis for Long covid / chronic fatigue / CFS but doctors suspect it and my symptoms include:

- raised Resting HR after activity

- raised Body temperature after activity (mostly in the morning/evening)

- general sense of fatigue

- sore throat

Whenever I train a bit harder like an athlete needs to my body just cant handle it.

It's been extremely frustrating for me, my family, all my trainers and supporters and I really want to get back to doing what i love.

Skiing and Sports are my life so if anyone has any advice on what I can do I would highly appreciate it.
