Hello, I am a long covid survivor hanging on. On April 13, 2020 Easter Sunday, I could not get up out of bed. I had vertigo, dizzy spells and vomiting every time I tried to lift my body up from a laying down position. I laid there until about noon. Then I had to call the paramedics to take me to the hospital. Covid testing was not available then. They ran a lot of blood work and a CAT SCAN. Everything came back normal. I had to stay overnight because the vertigo would not go away. Finally, the vertigo calmed down a little. But, I was still so dizzy and sick to my stomach.
My PCP came to the hospital and told me that I have meniere's disease. I went to an ears, nose, and throat doctor. Everything came back fine.
It is now October 21, 2024 and I still have vertigo, dizzy spells, vestibular migraines and chronic fatigue. I went to all the doctors and they said everything is fine. I now just cope with my symptoms daily. So, some days are good and some days are bad. When I am taking all my vitamins, protein drinks, smoothies, enzymes, etc. and eating healthier foods, no salt, no sugar and drinking a lot of water those are my best days. I have got a lot of help on this Mayo Clinic talking with others with long covid like myself and used some of their vitamins, supplements and enzymes suggestions.
I take Vitamin B complex, B8 inositol, Nattokinase and serrapeptase enzymes, and I make myself protein drinks and smoothies. I also do Probiotics and Prebiotics.
The B8 Inositol really helped me with energy and took away the fatigue.
Before you take any of these vitamins, B8 inositol, supplements, enzymes and etc., check with your medicine interactions if you on any medications. And/Or talk with your doctors or pharmacy.
I hope we all get well and back to our old selves. I miss the old me!
