I know EXACTLY how you feel! I have only been vaccinated, no booster (my side effects from the vaccine were horrible, didn’t want to go through that ever again). My symptoms are all over the place, horrid sinus, head and ear pressure, heart palpitations/arrhythmia issues, gastrointestinal problems, all over body pain and aches. Episodes of lightheadedness, balance is off (which I believe is from the ear pressure), internal tremors, was recently diagnosed with a some level of Dysautonomia, said part of my nervous system is malfunctioning. Other than my Cardiologist saying that from numerous heart monitors they see some disruptions but nothing life threatening.
But I’m with you tried of sooo many doctor appointments and tests for them to say they really can’t really do anything to help my symptoms or see anything “life threatening” but when those symptoms are at an all time high I feel like my life is in danger. So I have given up and trying to accept that this is my life now and grieving a life I once had. Almost three years for me, so sad and frustrated.
I wish you better health and happier days ahead.

Me too...no one can help you or they do not know how too...tired of the appointments when you go you feel more frustrated after you leave , hoping someone can tell us why we are the way we are. I went to a foot specialist , because I had Covid toes from my Covid in 2021, he could not help me at all , when he looked at my foot he plainly said " I do not know what this is and he asked me what I had been doing on my own to treat it. Covid forever changed our lives and how we live our lifes. Those who have never had Covid themself or some one close to the who has do not get this. We never know how our day is going to go when we first get up in the morning and when we will experience some of our covid syndrome symptoms. Friendships have been comprised and what we do and when we do , that is when we are not napping from the awful fatigue we experience, but I guess that is our new normal..we are a part of of our own " ME TOO " movement. Wishing all of our connect friends better health and happiness also. Sincerely, Kitty2
