Clinical narrative: One month after my second dose, I had a sudden onset of dizziness the morning of 4/26/21 around 0700 while I ate breakfast. After a few minutes, the spinning feeling subsided, but I felt "drunk" dizzy, lightheaded where I felt not in control of my movements.  Focusing on every step, loss of balance, difficulty focusing, constant pressure in my head, difficulty attending to a screen (computer, phone, etc), nausea, fatigue, were my symptoms and they did not begin to subside until 06/24/2021.  I am not 100% recovered and am still experiencing dizziness and head pressure, however it is not constant as it has been the past two months.  TX: 4/26/21 - I went to urgent care after work. They referred me to the ER. I went tothe ER later that evening. They discharged me, saying it was likely due to an infection in my inner ear (to my knowledge I didn't have an infection in my inner ear - no pain, ringing, discharge). They prescribed Meclizine for dizziness, which was ineffective. On 4/26/21 I called my Neurologist, since dizziness could be a neurological problem r/t my dizziness. He referred me for an MRI, which came back clear. He also put me on prednisone, which was ineffective. On 4/28/21 I had a follow-up appointment with my doctor, who referred me to an ENT. On 5/5/21 I had a phone appointment with my neurologist, who suggested that there was not much to do at the time but wait and it would likely get better. He said it could be vestibular neuritis or migraine-induced vertigo. No treatment course was recommended. On 5/14/21 I met with ENT. She referred me to get a hearing test and a VNG. Nobody diagnosed me with anything, only saying more tests needed to  be run to get a diagnosis. She prescribed an anti-histamine. On 5/20/21 I had a hearing test and a VNG, both of which tested within normal limits. On 6/01/21 I had a follow-up appointment with Dr. She recommended Vestibular Physical Therapy and seeing a Vestibular Specialist. I have had weekly vestibular PT since 6/8 to present day. I have an appointment scheduled on 08/23/21. NOTE: I am a teacher and have not been able to work since the onset of dizziness. the ER later that evening.
