Summary

Tern 37081 developed vertigo after COVID-19 in about 2022. Vestibular physical therapy revealed their eyes were not working together, and they were sent to a neuro-ophthalmologist and are now in vision therapy. By their posts in late 2024 their dizziness was mostly gone apart from some particular triggers and their visual symptoms had improved a lot, though they said they were not back to normal.
