I’ve only had the feeling for a couple weeks since having COVID. I have an autoimmune disease and have been on Prednisone for 4 years. I started a reduction program today. I’m pretty happy with my physicians, have a Rheumatologist, Pulmonologist and, Primary Care, who are working together.

I also have autoimmune issue. I think Covid is causing more Inflammation because when I’m on steroids I feel a little bit better. But then I go off of them and it’s not as good. Are you finding that your ears are sensitive to sound ? How long can you stay on prednisone for ?

@johnnydale52 how can I get my dr to prescribe prednisone for the inflammation? When I take the steroid it seems to help a little each time with my fullness and overall ear issues. Nobody believes me. It’s so frustrating. I have autoimmune issues too but drs again are adamant that a steroid doesn’t work ! Even though I’m telling them it is!
Ugh 😩
