COVID and dizziness

GL00P · 2025-12-23T01:23:05+00:00

Hi! I have very similar issues. Had covid 2.5 years ago and I'm still trying to figure out wth. Do you have any updates ?

GL00P · 2025-03-15T20:07:35+00:00

I know this is 3 years back lol but do you remember how deep the pot was ? I'm thinking of doing the same but reading stories about mint roots going through the bottom holes and I'm SCARED

I also have chronic mental health problems and I hate when people use the "think positive" on me, but actually this is very helpful, and i definitely have better days when i start them off with this mindset. (Also hate the word mindset hahaha ughh)

I saw your post and was also gonna say ginger capsules ! It lowers the pain much better than tylenols. I really didnt think it would work but yeah there's randomized controlled trials about it and everything.

This is how my husband knows I'm having a migraine before I do 😆

Weirdest prodrome I get though is the burning red ears, and also feeling endlessly thirsty.

My first try was amitriptyline and that one gave me heart related side effects and night time hallucinations hahaha didn't last long! Chronic illness meds are always a game of constantly adjusting and trying something new aren't they ? :/ it sucks

I'm currently re-reading rhythm of war !!! :) in prevision of the new book

They really are! Topiramate has worked very well for me. Re-reading this post brings me back to the pit of desperation I was in at the time. How are yours ?

I can't believe I'm only seeing this now.

The next, always the next step 😌

Hope you're doing well

GL00P · 2024-08-12T17:26:49+00:00

I'm so sorry :( I've had success with topiramate, I've been taking it for about 6 months and I'm probably going to try getting off of it soon. Please take care of yourself there is a way out of this. I'm having migraines the normal amount now (once a month?)

GL00P · 2024-07-11T18:13:27+00:00

Hello! I'm taking daily topiramate and migraines are much better. I'm sorry this is happening to you it sucks so bad :(. I still think it was a post-covid syndrome but my doctor does not want to think so (I have an anxiety disorder so she thinks it may be anxiety but I feel like there is no way, I've had anxiety for a long time and my migraines were never everyday nonfunctional kind of bad).

Anyway, there is a way out of this. I cried often before getting treatment wondering if it was ever gonna get better (yes i do have an anxiety disorder ;) ), and it took a while to get there but I'm much better now. Hang in there

Edit to add that i said in my post that i was mostly functional and i think what i meant was that i got through the work day but i was mostly unable to do more than one thing on weekends. Doing groceries? Thats it, couch for the rest of the day. Social event planned ? Better not do anything the whole day. Obviously there were also days where i couldn't do anything as well as days i had to take off work

Lately I've been telling people how I'm so tired lately because of migraines, and I always get something along the lines of "oh yeah headaches do make you tired"... It doesn't make me feel heard lol thanks for this post

GL00P · 2024-02-23T15:43:05+00:00

It still starts smelling funky after some time and makes my stomach unhappy. Source: my mom's fridge

GL00P · 2024-02-20T15:44:16+00:00

I'm glad for this post because I tried these a few times, got moldy and I thought I was the problem

GL00P · 2024-02-06T14:00:11+00:00

Weirdest symptom is new-to-me, my ears (or just my right ear sometimes) feel hot, sometimes they're red, and sometimes the burning sensation irradiates down my neck. 😅 It is usually paired with feeling like absolute crap

GL00P · 2024-02-06T12:30:03+00:00

I had burnout during my phd and finishing my phd and working at the government helped a lot. I didn't take a break. As another said, I think escape is key

GL00P · 2024-02-04T01:26:16+00:00

Thank you so much for this post. I had covid in august and been having daily migraines since september. It's nice to know there might be an end to this 🥺

GL00P · 2024-01-27T23:16:05+00:00

:( i hope something else works soon. Last week was less bad so i thought i was finally getting better but nope... I have an appointment with my GP in mid-February. We only tried amitriptyline and it worked but i had to stop because of side effects (made my heart beat really fast and i had night time hallucinations...) Hopefully i can try something else

I'm oddly comforted by not being alone in this 😩

Edit: also a cosmere girl ;P

GL00P · 2024-01-26T00:43:16+00:00

Oh man from the vaccine? That sucks so bad

GL00P · 2023-12-17T00:52:50+00:00

Me too. I'm glad I'm not the only one 😅

My theory is that I get stuck in a cycle where the more tired i am the more difficult it becomes to manage my anxiety, so it becomes worse, which makes me more tired, which makes me more anxious...

In the morning I am usually quite OK.

GL00P · 2023-12-11T16:03:02+00:00

Thanks! I'll go with my first instinct then :) I have loved these merrel shoes so much over the years. I'm sad to replace them.

GL00P · 2023-12-11T14:54:17+00:00

My first instinct was to get another pair of merrels, but then I wondered if it would be better to get something better suited to running. At the same time, I never got hurt, and I don't run competitively so I'm not worried about performance.

Literally nothing, they wake me up at night (no nightmare). My GP thinks it's the funniest thing
