I may gave to go back to an acupuncturist.I had so many issues at the very beginning of my illness,but I was going to a chiropractor and the acupuncturist at the same time.I did have some improvement.I was not sure who was helping,but I think it was the acupuncturist.You are not in Maryland are you?I was going to ask you the name of your acupuncturist.Whatever happened to me attacked my vagus nerve too and the acupuncturist was very familiar with the vagus nerve.Someone was telling me that Systane Complete worked for them during the day for their dry eyes and they applied an ointment at night.I guess I will have to try different things. The prescription eye drops are just too harsh.I am just so grateful to have insurance.I worked in healthcare,but had to stop working because I got so sick.All of these tests,procedures and treatments are so expensive.I would never be able to afford it.I never thought in a million years I would be so sick.I guess no one does.

Yes, I use Systane preservative free drops, individual size, during the day, as needed and Systane ointment at night.

I’m not in MD, but in NC. It would be a hike to get to the place I use. It’s in Chapel Hill near I-85. I’ll PM u the name if you want. Maybe, he could give referral. He’s very talented. Wish my insurance covered it. He does more than acupuncture. Has a website.

I’ve had a lot of lab work. Most of it in Sept and Nov of 2023. It was ok then. Plus, besides the issues I have with post covid syndrome, chronic constipation, tennis elbow and dry eye, I feel awesome! I have lots of energy and my anxiety is much improved. I’ve lost most of the weight I had gained, gained some muscle, experienced increased energy and regained my old self back. Now, just to address the other issues.
