It’s a shameful thing that the lab tests seem to be parceled out at a glacial pace.
I had a similar thing with B12 deficiency. I’d suffered for 8 months going to doctor appointments before a young Neurologist finally ordered the test! Extremely low B12! With supplementation I was back to myself in three months.
My regular GP acted flummoxed!
A simple test that most post menopausal women should routinely get took eight months and multiple doctors to prescribe.
Now, I always tell my friends to request the test. They are almost always too low, just like me.
Now, I’m dealing with post Covid(probably), and my ears and eyes are affected. I do have a doctor that is testing extensively to try to help me.

I've had Covid twice--both times before the new vaccine came out. It very much mimics my autoimmune disease. For eyes, I go to an ophthalmologist, and they test pressure, visual field and color contrast and check the retinas. You might do that. I use Systane and Pataday for my eyes, which are very dry. My mouth is dry too so I use Oral B dry mouth wash so I protect my teeth and gums. It is Sjogrens overlap. An ENT might be best for checking your ear health, as well. I get occasional vertigo and Dramamine and the Eppley Maneuver or Foster Somersault help. Tinnitis affects alot of people; I deal with my TMJ and it seems to relieve it. Best of luck.

I started taking B-12 when I first had shingles, for the pain. And, then I noticed that I could think better and so have continued the sublingual B-12 all these years. Besides hydration it is really worthwhile. I've had to add D3 due to low values and lung nodules and magnesium oxide for constipation.
