I feel like I’m slowly dying and nobody is helping

@dloos I'm glad and sad you're still here. I asked both audiologists if my hearing could return before buying hearing aids. They said not. Of course hearing loss from COVID is new to everyone so .. they don't really know. With each new symptom (I tested positive the first of April 2023 and was positive for 10 days feeling like a bad flu had hit) and reading that new symptoms can appear 2-3 years later -- and since it's been 5, they don't really know - I wonder what will become of us.

Article I posted in the group elsewhere and here for interest in yet another 'treatment.' https://time.com/7206080/long-covid-psychiatric-wards/

Here's to us!

To jeindc —

Thank you for the link to the article about many physicians:
(a) being unaware that a patient is presenting with symptoms of Covid, and
(b) not knowing what appropriate next steps to take to secure an accurate diagnosis and proper initial treatments.

The article is enlightening for me, because I’ve never encountered those obstacles to proper care. That’s Because I live near four major academic medical centers, with a wide array of medical specialists available, and have excellent medical insurance to cover my access to them.

Thank you again for the link!
