@gabriig Thanks for the hug! I am also getting physical therapy and taking lysine since you mentioned it. At least, I think it was you. Now, I’m being tested for rheumatoid arthritis and I have some symptoms I didn’t know were symptoms of RA. I’ve also had CSU since 2023 and that is related to RA. My personal opinion is that the reactions to blood thinners are related to COVID. The virus was being developed as a biological weapon and that is when my vertigo returned. I think the virus was intended to cause our immune systems to go haywire because that describes ALL my problems since having it. There are some investigations into these horrible side effects now but there need to be more. And my GP wasn’t surprised or denying the connection to blood thinners, so there is a little progress, but having a provider who is open-minded is HUGE when we are lucky enough to find one. Hope you continue to improve as well!

@charley7wills Fortunately, my problem that required blood thinners is stable now. I had a rare condition called May-Thurmer Syndrome. It’s when the iliac artery compresses the iliac vein so that blood from your legs has a harder time returning to the heart. They placed a stent in the vein to keep it open and the blood flow is much improved. Still have venous insufficiency from the blood pooling and 2 DVTs that are stable. But at least it is progress.
