I'm so sorry celia16. Yeah acupuncture is not cost effective. It really sucks that it's not covered.

Just reporting back as I lay here in bed 12 hours after second session. Sinuses feel dry, no mucus in throat. It's definitely helping.

One of the needles they placed last night was in my left ear and I HEARD something happening inside my head. Kind of crazy. They're stimulating that vagus nerve.

Will continue to update.

This whole thread absolutely amazes me at how similar my symptoms are to so many of you all. Yet the doctors have no idea what's going on with me or any of you and it's frustrating. I keep showing my wife these articles and she just kind of looks it away but I wake up with a burning throat not to sit up and take Tums and then an hour later take Tums and the burning throat creates a tachycardia type of almost heart palpitation feeling so I set up for 2 hours and then I fall back asleep at like 5:00 a.m. just have to get up at 6:00 a.m. and go to work it's super frustrating and I'm like constantly swallowing thick mucus but nothing comes up I'm snorting in the back of my nose and my throat like a pig all day long clearing my throat sometimes a slight cough. Constant pressure in my head my eyes are burning every day like an allergy but I'm allergy free and my eyes water constantly like I wipe my eyes because they water and then my eyes start burning and become red for me wiping them. When I take a deep breath I can breathe fine but there's a type of tightness in my chest like I have a cold but I don't. Might have to try acupuncture as well

I don't get burning in my throat, but I did have a burning throat really really badly when I the COVID infection that caused all this.

I thought it was interesting at the time because out of all my coworkers that were infected with the same strain, I was the only one who had 24 hours of burning in my throat.

It's so annoying that so many doctors wouldn't listen that there's something wrong with the throat.
