As a lay-person reading comments such as these, one thing that puzzles me is I don't see thyroid issues mentioned. My limited understanding is whenever one has a illness thyroid hormones can be setback from it, to the point they are not even considered accurate or even tested in the aftermath of illness. COVID-19 is a major illness in some folks, so I would think they could throw thyroid levels off for a period. I myself have hypothyroidism & it is said thyroid hormones require optimal: vitamin B-12, vitamin D, folate & ferritin levels to function well (many other measures pushed online can make matters worse so please beware). Thyroid hormones can take a while to rebound, this is a slow process. You might consider checking your levels of B-12, D, folate & ferritin, & follow your physician's recommendations on optimizing levels. This measure has greatly helped me following illnesses, and I have had the lion's share of your symptoms.

Interesting you mention that. I had a total thyroidectomy in 2019 and take a hormone replacement drug. I've seen my endo every 6 weeks this year, since having covid. My TSH was extremely off immediately after covid (hyper). My thyroid levels rebounded weeks ago, and I take a RX vitamin D supplement, but just started taking B12 last week. I'll look into the other two you mentioned! Thank you

I am experiencing all of the brain fog, dizziness, trouble driving, loud noises etc. upon blood work the Dr did notice that I have hypothyroidism. I’ve been on medication for 3 months now. It hasn’t improved these symptoms though. 🥲
