I hear you!! I have had the same symptoms you have for the past four years. I also had vaccines but they were moderna, however I'm not sure if I got long term covid from the vaccines or from my initial bout of the Delta Covid virus. I got Covid before the vaccines were even available to the public. I can identify with your symptoms especially the dizziness and losing vision focus.
I have been reluctant to travel as well because of this. My symptoms like yours come and go, sometimes I can have a week or two before they come back and during these periods I try to take advantage of this time to get things done. I have had the same kind of experiences with doctors but fortunately found a PC that at least listens although there is little he can do to treat the symptoms. When I am having symptoms the only thing that brings me some relief is Tylenol. I have learned to pace myself as far as physical exertion is concerned becaues it tends to bring on the symptoms sooner. My life has changed because I was a very active person and enjoyed sports like tennis and hiking, I can no longer play tennis and my walks are relatively short one. I have had numerous test to try and identify what is going on but all come back normal. All of this has been very frustrating and somtimes depressing. All I can say is " hang in there". I am hopeful that research with find some kind of treatment in the future. Good luck to you, thank you for your service, from anothe veteran.

Sorry for the late reply. I've only managed to get one week in the last 3 years where I was 95% functional over the last 3 years. I'm not sure what I did, but my attempts to recreate it have been unsuccessful.

I used to be more active too. I used to walk 4 miles a day, go hiking and scouting for new hunting spots. I was active in my local sports leagues. Now, I'm in the worst shape of my life and could probably give Gabriel Iglesias a run for his money for the Fluffy moniker. Any type of physical activity will trigger a massive flare of symptoms. The worst part of it is that I had to cancel a dream elk hunting trip in Colorado... I doubted that I could physically do it and live to tell the lies about my hunting prowess.

I've been struggling to keep my own advice and keep from asking the Oracle at Google about LPCVS... I will continue to adminently deny being a member of the "Tinfoil Hat Brigade", but when I went looking for answers to give me hope I was amazed at some of the theories out there. I usually take information on the internet with an ocean full of salt... but let's just say that I can understand why some people have started folding.
