Things that helped
Catching COVID
It was about one-year post-vaccine injury when I got COVID. I don’t want to make light of this because I know that many people are dealing with long COVID, but in my case, getting COVID helped with the vaccine injury, and I had a mild case of COVID.
(*Most people get worse following COVID.)
Treatments and supplements
I was only consistent with vitamin C, CBD oil, the multi-frequency homeopathic combination tincture, and antihistamine.
Regarding THC and CBD:
Before the vaccine, I was a regular THC and cannabidiol (CBD) consumer, and I had no THC for about 5 months after I got sick. However, I started taking pure CBD drops daily after the first month to see if it would help with symptoms, and I think it helped with the feelings of anxiety and panic.
When I started vaping THC again, it did wonders for me. I mainly partook in the evenings before bed, increasing my appetite, decreasing my anxiety, and helping me sleep.
Vestibular physiotherapy didn’t cure her balance issues but was helpful.
Main symptoms

I couldn’t get out of bed and needed my parent’s assistance to walk to the washroom.
