So I am going through the rounds of all the specialists the VA has to find out what’s wrong with me. I finally had my appointment with infectious disease and they were very supportive. I have tremors, buzzing, internal vibrations, random nerve twitching, and permanent teeth chattering. They gave me gabapentin and hydroxyzine. The medication helps it’s no cure but it helps. But until they find a cause for my ailments they just treat my symptoms. Doctor said post viral syndrome is a possibility. I am done googling things. I just want to live my life and focus on my recovery. I am very happy that I am no longer convinced I only have a few years left to live.

I need to see a specialist for my heart. Seen one for my lungs, I have scarring on my left one. Other than that nope. Some doctors don't seem to care.

yeah it’s hard dealing with those doctors. I have seen both kinds. Doctors who see you has just a paycheck and doctors who want to see you get better. Luckily I have found a few good ones. But I have a few I have to struggle with. I feel like I have force them to work.

Have had long Covid for two years and seen so many doctors. They offered beta blockers for my heart rate and compression socks as well as staying hydrated. I do not take medication I am trying some different diet and lifestyle things as well as the compression socks and hydration. It just sucks that they don’t know enough about it yet but they should since there are so many people out there completely struggling with this

I'd stay away grub gabapentin I've seen bad reviews on this but if it's helping you why not? I started off on hydroxyzine then put on clonazepam0.5 its a benzo & it's a bad one not including my saroquel 300 trazodone 50 amitriptyline 25 do us all a favor try healing yourself with diet healthy foods

No. They all say there is nothing to do.
