A New Year of Resolutions To My Problematic Plagues Of 2021

Thank you #ScottsdaleEarNoseAndThroat ! The gal I saw Danica, was wonderful to work with. She made testing a very good and positive experience!

Happy New Years Eve! I have one last health update :
I completed the 2 hours of balance testing. I found that I have 2 different vestibular inner ear issues. Caused by a virus. The gal told me that many Covid + patients she has seen have the same long term symptoms and #vestibular issues I have. So fully vaccinated, I probably had Covid. I am experiencing long Covid issues. The treatment, is a highly specific/specialized physical therapy. So I’ll have to be referred by neurologist for specialist pt. Also she encouraged me to start taking Vitamin D pronto. It helps to heal inner ear disturbances. My right ear has significant weakness I was told… I also have a lot of tinnitus in that ear. I hope PT will help!

I woke up with this issue in late September. Had extreme #vertigo, tingling and numbness in my sinus cavity and up the back of my head. I thought I was having a stroke. It was Covid! Many people with vertigo symptoms have Covid these days. It is one of the first symptoms of Covid in some patients. Yet all the Drs I saw, told me I didn’t need to test. My symptoms weren’t typical for Covid. The diagnosis makes total sense as I had many strange symptoms I didn’t understand. It was frustrating to be tossed around from Dr. to Dr with no real answers. I’m grateful for answers and peace of mind and hope to feel normal again with the proper treatment.

Anyway, I see my neurologist on the 7th for follow up and review of the testing I just completed. No magic pill lol, darn! Maybe the vitamin D?

Have a wonderful New Years Eve. My love to all of you!
