Anyone think that it’s no longer long Covid? just permanent damage?

Trying not to hate the “new me”. I cannot hear, or see well. I’m dizzy, constipated, have tinnitus and hyperacusis. Since I cannot hear or see well I can’t drive....and where would I go? Stores and crowds overwhelm me.
Like you, I try to enjoy a pretty day. I go outside and walk a little. While food isn’t what it used to be (I’ve lost thirty pounds) sometimes I can eat. I know others are suffering too, perhaps more than me.
I go to my various health therapies with little to no improvement. The tools are not right, but people want to help.
Happy New Year, and God help us all.

I empathize with all you said. My doctor prescribed neurological medicine to help with memory and processing lots of stimuli, like in a crowd. And medicine to focus. You may ask if paxlovid is right for you. It completely transformed me. If you go to clinicaltrials.gov, you’ll see lots of long covid research is getting funded and a lot of research and learning is underway. That gives me hope.

So sorry to hear all these problems you're having.... be persistent with your doctor about getting on some medications that will help you.....you have to be very persistent these days or the doctors will just dismiss you....Sad but true....sounds like you could use an anti-anxiety medication, an appetite stimulant med, and a medication for the dizziness. Best of Luck to you.
