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

I have been doing Pt 3x a week for a year. I had COVID in 8/22 with several weeks in the hospital. My initial symptoms were high fevers, severe balance and proprioception issues along with dizziness, cognitive challenges, and movement sensitivity. There have been a lot of tests run, and most show some helpful explanations but not definitively so. I did have some balance problems pre-COVID but they were acute and severe post COVID. The proprioceptive and vestibular teams have worked hard with me and I do every homework assigned. After a year, I am out of a bed, then moved to a wheelchair, then came the walker and rollator, to two canes. I am thrilled that my progress is still happening and hopeful that my next scans are all good. Some spinal issues that pre-existed COVID may have made me more susceptible but they do not explain the scute nature of the proprioceptive loss that was immediate post-COVID.
This is being written as encouragement for others. It's been a struggle but I see the light at the end of the tunnel!!!!!
