I have had ME/CFS for over 40 years, but never had trouble walking until I got Covid twice in 2022-23. My balance is awful and sometimes my legs feel like tree trunks I am dragging around. Two things, however have helped. I had three reflexology treatments. This is an ancient modality actually dating back to Egyptian days. Supposedly different parts of your feet relate to different organs of your body. I know is sounds a little out there, but I have been able to make two trips since then without using a cane. (Anne Romney, wife of the former presidential candidate Mitt Romney used reflexology to get her out of a wheel chair after she was diagnosed with MS.) The other help was changing my walking pattern from tiny shuffling steps to try to keep my balance to larger steps with heel to toe walking and swinging my arms. It is amazing that I can walk so much better, not as good as before Covid, but improving all the time.

Oh yea, we’ve used reflexology and it has helped us immensely. She retired a few yrs ago and haven’t been to any.
It used to stop an asthma attack the day she did the treatment and I had other things helped.
I read about natural health doctors using rhe nicotine patches. I’m trying that this week. They say take a 7 mg nicotine patch they come in 21 and 14 also but take a 7 mg patch cut it into three parts and only wear one of those parts per day that’s a little over 2 mg of nicotine wear it until supper or bedtime and do this for a few weeks. Many people have stated how much help they have gotten. Many people have said they have no symptoms, but if you take too high of a dose, you can end up with nausea, vomiting, headache, shaky, anxiety, tired, and dizziness can’t sleep things like that I would go very slow, but at this point, I’m trying this
Did you think onto acupuncture. We used it for things also. As worth all things look into the person. Read their website and know who you’re going to.
There are intelligent and less then in all health care
Worth trying what we can.
I’ve noticed mostly natural products help cov
I’ve also heard of upper cervical chiropractic helping cov. Pots, cfs.
They say that is caused by many things even a virus can cause it. Just praying you find something to help out. Don’t give up hope😍

I appreciate the walking ideas
Longer strides with arms in motion and heel to toe steps. A great reminder for me.
Balance was and still is a problem from LC. I did physical therapy, and it helped, but I had to give up ball room dance.
