Started Ivermectin today. Did not test because this is exactly how I felt when I had covid in 2021. Just curious if this is across the US or in pockets. We live in south Louisiana. My husband has it too.

I'm convinced that our minds do a lot of the work whether it is getting sick or recovering from sickness. When I was a child I was able to get sick - for real, fever and everything - most times when I didn't want to do something, or didn't want my parents to do something. A school test I was really scared of - I got the flu. My parents wanted to leave for a couple of days and would have left me in the care of my grandmother, and when I was very young I was rather codependent on my mother (probably because I had been isolated in a hospital for some months when I was about a year old) and guess what, I got the flu, fever and everything. Sports day in school...
Then there is all the research about the placebo effect. Confirmed stories about people who recovered from even something like what had seemed terminal cancer because they thought they had been cured.
As well as stories of people who did get something for real because they were convinced they would.
Maybe causes are not all in our heads, but it does look like it almost certainly is some sort of collaboration thing, we are first far more likely to get something for real if we think we will, and keep thinking about it. And our bodies can more easily heal if our minds are fully convinced that they will, and we concentrate on that thought.
I can relate to everything you describe. The mind is indeed quite powerful, and belief can produce both negative as well as positive results.
between this and the fact that nobody ever isolated c19... read: proved it exists .... lets just pray for health and move on with our lives.
