March, 2021, I started getting extremely strange head problems - all unprecedented: strange daily headaches, tinnitus, teeth/gums. I thought it was the 40 hours a week job working on the laptop finally coming for me, special glare glasses and lighting notwithstanding. I realized, when the symptoms largely subsided (but then would return) that it was directly correlated to my housemate's getting their moderna two shots, and later, the booster(s). Wisening up, I did start taking ivermectin each time I knew my partner would be getting a new jab. However, the tinnitus stayed; so did the left eyelid twitching. With research, I started taking additional, specific supplements, hoping to stop the tinnitus. I figured the eyelid twitching was life. I did notice though that twitch disappeared a month ago or so (maybe it was the increased L-Lysine I was taking??). Back to the tinnitus: a visit to the ENT doctor ruled out any known cause and yielded nothing but a muscle relaxant prescription. Tinnitus started to calm down but December, 2023, I got covid (and yes, took the early treatment Ivermectin etc...) and sh*t, it got a lot worse again. Finally, I added Taurine, and Gingko Biloba about 4 weeks ago to the f**kton amount of daily supplements I take, and, fingers crossed/knockonwood, today I noticed my tinnitus is barely discernible, perhaps gone. Seeing tinnitus on the list above for Long Covid does not surprise me, and I do hope that I keep stumbling across possible solutions as I do suspect it's not truly a victory until it's gone for a long time, not just a day.
