Summary
After COVID in December 2021 and again in May 2022, this Reddit user developed dizziness, motion sickness and constant nausea that lasted about three years. Dizziness eased after roughly a year but the nausea stayed, and five anti-nausea medications all made it worse. By December 2024 they had moved back in with their parents, lost two jobs and could barely get to work because car travel made them vomit. No test had found a cause.
