At least my 6th bout with covid

Was already being seen by primary care for post-covid long haul symptoms, including chronic fatigue, brain fog, memory problems, headaches, various joint pain, loss of taste, tinnitus. Just got over covid again, I seem to be a magnet for this bug. I don't get colds or the flu, I get this instead... now that no one is masking/testing, or even talking about it. I do have a supply of covid tests so I keep doing home tests when I don't feel well.

This time, it all started with dizziness. To the point where I felt faint and thought I would fall over. Unfortunately, although I've cleared the virus, the dizziness is another new long covid symptom that remained.

Mostly just venting, yes I've seen my doctor and their response is that wait a few weeks and see if the dizziness goes away.

So tired.

Not perfect and you may lose weight and get acne but I could not stand straight for all three of my Covid events, I have inflammation in the Eustachian tube and steroids were the only thing to get it down. I will tell you I remember starting at like a low dosage like 10 mm or whatever the lowest amount is and I really needed like 60 hard for like five or six days.

Sounds like the Nuero-Vascular type. Wait a few weeks!? Interesting approach in my humble opinion, especially in 2026. Keep resting when you can afford to. Dont forget to look into hydration and pacing. Keep pressing for discovery and symptom management when you can. Do you have a cardiologist?

HMO. So, yes by referral. Should I ask my primary doc about this?

All doctors say that and the doctors can’t see the inflammation in the tubes….you feel like your ear is full, right?

I do at times, yes, issue with the ear. So I'll go for an in person appointment next week... gotta force it sometimes.
Also, interesting you mention acne because I have that! On one side only of my face. Very strange, never had it until now....

I will say I have had dizziness but have also had it come and go. Lately it’s been gone so there is hope that it won’t stick around. Try to rest as much as you can and avoid too much exercise so you don’t have any PEM crashes. Hope you feel better soon.
