Post-Covid dizziness/off-balance, as most troubling symptom

I have had long COVID since December 2021 and my balance is terrible. I can barely walk and always need a cane or some other support. I have tried all kinds of therapies including acupuncture, physical therapy and water aerobics. Nothing has helped. I did get some advice from my balance therapist on proper ways to walk without waddling like a duck and that has helped some. Anyone else seen any improvement and can anyone make recommendations?

I saw a PT that did a type of vestibular rehabilitation therapy. I saw much improvement but had to stop due to PEM. I can now walk around my house and across the parking lot unassisted!!!

I have had the same issues for 8 months now. My doctor put me on Meclizine 25mg, three times a day as needed. It helps a lot. I still have the dizziness, but this helps.
Good luck
