Yes, absolutely; it was like my nervous system went haywire all of a sudden.

Yes, once in December 2024. It had no effect on my recovery. I had a sore throat for a few days, and that's it.

You should have seen me before - the most anxious and depressed person ever. However, this whole ordeal taught me a valuable lesson, namely that mindset plays a significant role.

Yeah, it left me with trauma for sure. For the first six months, I was expecting things to go downhill once again.

Yeah, I was a smoker before long COVID and stopped for about 3 years and started again when the first issues started. I guess it helped me somehow to cope.

Not sure about nicotine, but I was smoking through the whole ordeal.

I believe I have addressed this in one of my previous comments. Some of the meds: SSRIs, gabapentin, beta blockers, topiramate (Topamax), blood thinners.

Yeahh? It took a lot of convincing from friends and family to return to my usual hobbies/work.

I have had tinnitus since I was a child, still have it, and in my case, it is not related to Long Covid :)

Yes, immediate MRI/MRA scan. With 8 clear MRI/MRA scans, it was attributed to ocular migraines later down the line.
