Summary
They got COVID in January 2024 and afterwards developed eye floaters, aura or vestibular migraines and vertigo spells with a constant off-balance, foggy feeling in their head. They became depressed and anxious about the floaters, and all their tests came back normal. Vestibular physical therapy helped reduce how severe the vertigo is, and magnesium glycinate helped their migraines, but they still get short spells with disorientation lingering for days.
