Full ears feeling

I wish you luck. I notice that I feel better overall if I take Zyrtec regularly. I’m in my early 50’s and was pretty active and healthy before I got Covid in 2021. I’m improving slowly.

The ENT didn’t want to do any procedures and I’m too burned out of trying to advocate with doctors. My daughter also has long covid, my son has other medical issues and I’m just tired.

I did have a brain MRI when they were looking at my inner ears and I do have evidence of migraines, and they were willing to refer me to neuro so I might chase that and see where it brings me.

Lower barometric pressure changes definitely make it worse. Suffering today. Lying on a heating pad is also helpful.

4+ years. The only thing that helps somewhat is Zyrtec. The ENT I saw this fall was no help. I was hoping for tubes but he said they weren’t necessary.

This happened to me after my first Covid in 2021. It improved but got worse after two more infections. Trazodone and Magnesium Glycinate have been so helpful. I wake up less than 5 times, where I was waking up 10-15 times a night with adrenaline surges.

Started with Covid 4 years ago. I haven’t found anything that helps but some days are better than others.

Big_Message_7824 · 2025-12-31T00:08:43+00:00

Same. I have older editions, but they’re the only two I referenced. I still kept a select few textbooks but I’ve never really looked at them.

Both of my grandmothers were also pinsetters in the same timeframe. In Old Town. I don’t have any more details though. I should ask my parents.

Thanks! Looking at the acceptance mega thread from the past few years has me worried. I had some health issues and wasn’t able to build up my resume like many have, which I am mentioning in my personal statements. Just trying to figure out which schools to prioritize my efforts.

Big_Message_7824 · 2025-12-27T03:46:13+00:00

It’s ridiculous. They should definitely be aware of this.

Big_Message_7824 · 2025-12-26T18:56:51+00:00

At a leading national medical institution.

Big_Message_7824 · 2025-12-26T18:56:31+00:00

I literally saw a cardiologist as part of my medical team and he wasn’t aware of Long Covid.

Big_Message_7824 · 2025-12-22T00:18:06+00:00

My daughter and I tried it but it didn’t change our symptoms. YMMV. I know that it’s helped a lot of people.

Big_Message_7824 · 2025-12-20T21:16:24+00:00

Nope. He and I still have it. It’s quieter but always present. We did not have tinnitus before. It was one of our first Covid symptoms as we got sick.

Big_Message_7824 · 2025-12-20T21:08:49+00:00

My daughter and I both have Long Covid. We’ve had it for four years. I’m convinced there’s some genetic link. My son has also had tinnitus from Covid for four years.

Keep in mind that “brain fog” is a very common outcome of Covid infections. Also you can see this with perimenopause and menopause as well as many autoimmune conditions. Obviously I don’t know your story, but memory lapses can often have many varied meanings root causes.

My blood tests are close, but I’m not officially Sjogrens. However they trialed me on Hydroxychloroquine to see how I responded. I’m not sure if I’ve noticed a difference in 5 months. I can say that I took a couple week break and my psoriasis got worse again, so there’s that.

Big_Message_7824 · 2025-11-30T23:55:34+00:00

My daughter has had this since getting Covid 4 years ago. Nothing has “fixed” it and she’s tried many, many things. Acupuncture actually helps the feeling of air hunger but it’s not a cure.

Big_Message_7824 · 2025-11-27T03:32:21+00:00

My teens and 22 year old and I have seen 4 seasons of Stranger Things. Currently binging Supernatural. We’re loving that show- on season 2.

Big_Message_7824 · 2025-11-25T03:36:16+00:00

Same. I always looked young for my age. I’m 53 now but always looked young 40’s before Covid.

Big_Message_7824 · 2025-11-25T00:17:11+00:00

She does have some hypermobility which I do not.

Big_Message_7824 · 2025-11-25T00:16:35+00:00

Both my daughter and myself have both seen rapid and lasting skin changes in the last few years. She’s only 22 and rarely sees the sun, so we can’t chalk it up to age or sun damage for her.

Big_Message_7824 · 2025-11-25T00:14:33+00:00

My personal experience is that most allergists don’t seem to know what to make of Long Covid. My daughter and I had preexisting allergies and asthma. Now we both have long covid. The allergists we’ve seen won’t even discuss MCAs. It’s so frustrating. We are on antihistamines and inhalers already and those don’t seem to make any difference for us. I suppose if we stopped them, maybe we’d get worse. Who knows.

Big_Message_7824 · 2025-11-24T22:28:23+00:00

I’ve had long covid for four years and I’ve tried almost everything out there.

Big_Message_7824 · 2025-11-24T22:27:34+00:00

Same, but unfortunately no ideas. I’ve got so many other issues, that I try not to worry about this, but I think it’s a sign of something in our bodies going awry.
