Summary
A 34-year-old man got long COVID in early 2022; seizures every other day, neuropathy and disabling balance and vision problems left him bedridden for months. Vitamin B complex stopped the seizures, and chiropractic, vestibular eye exercises, supplements and diet changes slowly improved him. A prednisone allergic reaction set him back, and a vestibular disorder remained 20 months in; by late 2025 tingling came only with poor posture.
