I would still investigate CO, another detector is worth looking at, different location etc.
Extreme fatigue, loss of appetite, legs like lead......cannot find the cause.

What's the difference between stopping doing something you enjoy and stopping doing the things you love?

My best guess is your in a viscous circle:
Causal = what @ColinJ said
Reason for not recovering =
Solution = follow Advice from @Once a Wheeler

Just what blood test's have you had ?
Don't rule out depression it's very common in older people and often go's under the radar in that age group.
Your doctor can give you simple questioner to do which may show you have without knowing it.
It's maybe a number of small things which the virus has just brought to a head.
Without a clear set of test results or other key pointers it's had for any GP to say what it is. Post-viral fatigue is on such example which can't be ruled out given your history.
It may take time to rule out most things and even then you may never know.
Yes people can get fobbed off but equally medicine is still learning so much.

Solution, follow advice from those qualified to say what's wrong.
Long covid can't be ruled out the covid test is not fool proof. It's possible you had flu and then covid on top with one masking the other.
Partially if you only got exposed to a low viral load which if your body was already fighting one virus may have been just enough to leave you with problem.
Have you ask if it could be long covid ? As with many thing's covid many still don't know enough about it. I can point you to paper on it if you want give your GP a helping hand.

BBC have a news story about Long Covid here. A lot of it sounds similar to some of the things you have been experiencing:

I have four friends who suffer this illness which manifests itself in various ways. One is a keen and very good cyclist who simply gave up, stopped doing the very thing which helped. There was nothing to stop the cycling it was a decision she made alongside several others.
Cycling was something I was able to help with. I knew her to be someone who never broke a commitment and I managed to get a commitment 2-3 times a week to get out with me. Her riding was as good as ever, the illness didn't actually stop this. Together we broke the cycle and reversed the decision and she continued with positive results.
Yes. Fireangel is the brand. One in the lounge (gas fire) and one upstairs near the combi boiler.
There is a forum called Covid Longhaulers. Honestly, we have at least 90% of the symptoms.
I was really disappointed that the Covid blood test was negative. I was sure that was it.
Joking apart, lead pipes is one of the things he will be looking for.
