Interesting about Covid..I had the Omacron varient followed by “long Covid”.
They really don’t know enough about Covid because people ended up with different symptoms. My Doctor told me to take Super B with folate and in a week I was back to normal.
I saw a rheumatologist for my current ear problem and he wants me to try a drug they use for Rheumatoid Arthritis that will suppress my immune system if I can tolerate the drug there’s an 80% chance of my hearing returning. After seeing my therapist I’ve decided to give myself some time before I jump into a strong drug with side effects.
Good luck on your journey!

Thank you Lynne,
I also had the omicron variant.
I am taking lots of B vitamins with folate. I have had low B12 for several years (unrelated to Covid), though perhaps made me more susceptible to complications? Who knows?
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m now with an Integrative medical group. They do think outside the box, and are more helpful than the many western style specialists I have seen. I will ask about seeing a rheumatologist at my next appointment.
The scary thing for me is that I am not stable. Even after two years, I’m still losing hearing, and having more distorted hearing. Also, my left eye has lost considerable sight. My digestion and elimination is completely different than before Covid. It’s all connected I’m sure.
People talk about adjusting to the “new you”. I might be able to do that if I felt my condition was not still deteriorating.
I am fortunate in that I have experienced very little pain throughout this odyssey. But losing hearing and sight is not a small thing.
Good luck to you, and please keep me posted on your progress. Likewise, if I have a breakthrough, I will let you know.

Now this I find extremely interesting. I have been told to see a Rheumatologist for a few different problems I’m having but one of the most is ear problems. I’ve had them for a long time but they got worse after my maderna shot and after I had Covid. The same as you.
I’m going to try the B with Folate and see if it helps. I also got an aneurism within months of the Covid vaccine. And now another one after Covid. I swear they are a result from the vaccine and the fact I had Covid which no doubt added to my weakened immune system.

I have Sjögren’s. Please let me
know what medication you
are talking about. I have been
on a prednisone round that
helped. Now ears are a big
problem again.
Thanks.
