No one really seems to know what to do with us and frankly many wish we just disappeared. Every symptom talked about is with me every day. Just so tired of it . We just lost a fabulous young man to suicide as his athletic prowess and ability to work and travel was gone . He tried , he truly did !So sad Covid is still killing people!

I agree. I ‘d had problems with vertigo/motion sickness in the past. It was worse after Covid. My PT did the Epley Maneuver on me successfully last week. It took two treatments. No dizziness since.

Try Active. You will have to get it from your doctor.

It is helping me with the dizziness.

Good luck

I got Covid in Nov. of 21. Yesterday I took an after breakfast nap, an after lunch nap and a pre dinner nap. I too am off balance, thank God for walls & furniture. My appetite is back but only for limited foods. I’m on countless medications. Lost a lot of my hair. I’m thankful for this group so I know it’s not just me. I’m hoping with the pandemic lessened, scientists will pay more attention & do more research to help those of us with long Covid. Hugs to all.

I had that last year especially getting up off the toilet. It’s much better now but I will still turn & then just twirl instead of a turn. Really I would think I was crazy if it wasn’t for this group & hearing other people’s stories. 🤦‍♀️

I suffered 2 small strokes after 2nd pfizer shot. Of course no one wants to blame pfizer. Then in Jan 2022 I got covid and everything went downhill from there. I have fallen twice and take it real easy when I am walking.

I have syncopy, my syncopy got much worse after covid,I was diagnosed with syncopy way back in the 1990's along with chronic fatigue syndrome, yes long covid seems to dehydrate us ,you must drink as much water as you can and believe it or not you need salt to help retain the water in your body.
