I want so badly to try to help people like you, but the feds have told me to fuck off (not really, more correctly, they told me, "Sure you can do that...if you can first do these studies we recommend that will cost $5M and 3 years." Studies which, mind you, have nothing to do with safety or efficacy, but rather goddam shelf life and batch-to-batch variability. Neither here nor there.) You and others like you have kicked the virus for weeks or months, but your alveoli have likely been invaded by inflammatory cells that refuse to fuck off. Have they tried giving you steroids or some other potent anti-inflammatory? Antiviral treatments won't help, but something that chills out your immune system might. May even try fasting. If you can get through it, it at least couldn't hurt.
