I have not read anything at all on what I am experiencing, but I will share anyway because it is really weird. About 10 days ago I awoke to the lower portion of my face swollen. Two of my doctors and my dentist ( I am having some work done) have no idea why this has happened. A week later I awoke to find a lump on either side of my neck. I have had a chest CT because my voice is hoarse without being sore, and a neck CT. The conclusion is that I have prominent Buccal fat pads in my face and Lipomas within my neck. I find it strange that both of these swellings just popped up and are bilateral. I have had long covid since February and spent three weeks in the hospital Oct/Nov last year. Blood work indicates that at some time in my life I had EBV. News to me. I am 73 and have lost so much of my quality of life. One thing after the other. Anyone else experiencing this?

I'm so very sorry, this sounds very uncomfortable. I did not experience that type of swelling but I did have aching in my teeth/gums/jaw and eventually had to have a molar tooth pulled out because there was a massive hole that completely stumped the dentist and endodontist. It never caused me specific pain in that tooth, so was not typical decay. BUT with that being said, please don't try to treat these symptoms one by one -- you must treat the root cause and imbalances in the body.

Most people that react badly to Covid and/or the vaccination already have Epstein Barr in their system. EBV is very very common, so it would not be unusual for someone to have it in their system and not know it. Did you ever have mononucleosis or "glandular fever"? Then you have EBV.

One way to reset your nervous system, including the vagal nerve, is to do ice baths or switching between very hot and very cold water in the shower. It is pretty terrible at first, I will admit, but if you can tolerate the cold immersion for 2-3 minutes, it does wonders for your body. There is also a long-haul Covid Facebook group with LOTS of excellent information. You may find additional resources there, and people with similar stories. When I left the group a few months ago, there were 90,000+ participants from around the world. I wish you all the best!
