@greg1234 I have been dealing with these symptoms for over 5 years. I am always so dizzy that I have to use a walker (rollator) when standing. It is odd that I can sit, sleep or drive with no dizziness however. I have been to 6 physical therapy places, used all kinds of medications recommended by doctors, used nicotine patches and acupuncture with no improvement. But, I am very interested in trying acupuncture again with some specialist. How did you find someone that could understand and help you?

@kentkemmerling1949 so sorry that you have been suffering with this. it was just luck that I found this acupuncturist. I am guessing that one of the docs you saw was an ENT, in case you have an inner ear problem?

I’m sorry to hear about your struggles. If you can find a therapist that specialized in Vestibular therapy (usually an Occupational, not Physical therapist). I waited months for an appointment, but the Vestibular therapist has been helpful in identifying triggers that make my condition worse. The therapy exercises help if I do regularly, but I’m not able to do on bad ‘crash’ days. Living with a constant dizziness is a debilitating Long Covid symptom for me. I hope you find relief,
