Post-Covid dizziness/off-balance, as most troubling symptom

My LC lasted 8 mo (March thru October last year). It was mostly PEM, exercize induced fatigue, and a pounding heart. It may have reappeared this week, a week of high stress and 10-hour days in the shop training folk. Or, I might have gotten glutened eating out once 6 days ago. Some of my LC symptoms are like those of my autoimmune diseases. I'm 69 and don't have brain fog, but other celiac/LC symptoms are:
Balance issues from celiac and/or MGUS (I use a balance half dome and PT to help)
Tinnitus from an injury is worse with stress or getting glutened
Depression and fatigue are initiated with LC and by gluten as are...
Irregular and pounding heartbeats
LC did not screw up my GI tract because it was already fricasseed by celiac; I keep a food log and eat mostly FODMAP to control the GI inflammation. I can eat dairy, but not a few other things
I don't get dizzy, but my sister does due to Meniere's Disease. She avoids all dairy because it can trigger the inflammation. I think the link between covid and autoimmune diseases is underresearched and something few doctors know about.

I am a 42 yr old woman and experienced most of the same symptoms. The actual ‘positive’ Covid phase was nothing, just a couple sniffles and coughs. Highly active runner and gym enthusiast. My VO2 was 41. Post covid 2-3 weeks later could not breathe, severe tinnitus, irregular heartbeat. VO2 dropped to 23. This lasted months and contributed to a severe blood pressure problems. I live in a rural area where dr’s do not take homeopathic remedies seriously, so I took it upon myself to do my own research into long covid and medical studies. Water fasting had shown proven results to eliminate LC completely after 7 days so that’s what I did. I did a 3 day water fast, followed by a 3 day 24 hr fast, and then followed that with a 4 day water fast. (It was during my kids’ spring break so I had to eat one time a day with them for at least 3 days). It completely took away all my symptoms. I will say though though that I am not LC free. Every time I over stress myself by exercising too much or fast longer than 24 hrs my Long Covid death rattle comes back, but no heart issues and VO2 is still in the 40s. Stress is definitely a Long Covid trigger, but I can 100% tell you, If you want to get rid of the heart irregularities and cough do a water fast. Still experiencing tinnitus, hopefully will go away in the near future.

Oh absolutely. Need to push Rheumatologist or get one who will listen and research if needed and keep pushing. We are the first of their patients and they need to admit they don’t know and either want to or don’t.
