Hi...I have the same problem..my insurance would not pay for the tilt table test and if they would have it would have saved me , the insurance company , and my poor body a lot of expense. I was diagnosed with Orthostatic hypotension..alias pots on march 17, 24 when I fainted in my driveway..had a head injury TBI and concussion, then I fainted again on June 5, 24 when I had extensive injury to my Right leg and left ribs..luckily no broken bones. I had the gastrointestinal problems for two years as it left me with severe ulcerative colitis, nerve pains in my feet and right arm..it was like I was touching an electric fence and it hurt to wear shoes or walk. My blood pressure has been so high..its scary..they just doubled my med after another trip to the ER last week. Headaches and dizziness..and vertigo and fatigue. This long haul stuff has taken over my soul and there are physicians and friends who do not believe or understand this syndrome. I also have the hearing and vision loss too. I pray for you and all of our long covid friends . I hope some day someone can help us. Hugs to all of you..Kitty2

I can not begin to tell you how sorry I am that you are going through this, all of us actually. Until I found this site and my LC doctor connected me to another LC support group (via zoom) I thought it was an anxiety disorder like sooo many doctors tried to tell me. Honestly I think I would have rather them say “ Mrs. Bryant we just can’t figure out what is wrong” instead of making me feel like it’s all in my head. Two years I spent in and out of hospitals and doctors offices, it wasn’t until a family member said I should look into Long Covid, and she’s heard several stories of people experiencing what I was. For two years not one single doctor suggested that Covid could be the root.
We are all so lost and hanging on by threads most of us, I can’t even remember what it feels like to NOT have symptoms, to feel like my pre Covid self. I don’t cry as much as I use too, I guess it’s just me accepting this is it…for now. But I also had to face I might be like this for a long time. I want so much for that not to be true.
I send out to you and everyone on here healing energy, prayers for better health, and days where all of this will be nothing more than a memory and we make it to the other side of a full recovery. ❤️
