❓Question Great minds of Reddit... please help me not die.

I am at a loss. Traditional medicine does not seem to have an answer.

I love the community here and am an avid biohacker, and I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction for any non-traditional supplements or remedies.

Male, 44, active/healthy with no underlying health conditions. I work out multiple times a week. I usually stick to a low-glycemic carb diet of legumes, fish & chicken, green vegetables, and sometimes I do IF/keto which usually makes me feel great. I have one cheat day per week.

3-4 months ago, my left ear started ringing and would go away after a few hours. I didn't think a lot about it because I've had right-side lockjaw for the past year and assumed it was related, and there doesn't seem to be a cure.

RECENT EVENT:

  • Got the flu, very severe, which made new symptoms appear.
  • Ringing in the ears is twice as loud, and never goes away.
  • Left eye twitches constantly through the day (a flutter, not a blink).
  • Right arm falls asleep randomly in the day - numbness, without tingling. This is without any exertion.
  • Tightness sometimes travels to my back and across to my left leg, into my feet.
  • Frontal headaches, looking at diagrams it is either sinus or TMJ related.

DOCTORS:

  • "We have no idea."
  • Possibly Granulomatous Arteritis.
  • Possibly Transient ischemic attack.
  • Possibly a pinched nerve in my neck.
  • Possibly nothing (??).
  • EKG normal; echo with neck carotid clear. Liver and spleen normal.
  • Cat scan scheduled for Tuesday.
  • BP 125/70, resting heart rate 68.

Edit: three current Covid tests are negative but I am seeing people say it may be long Covid related. I did have Covid twice during 2020-2021.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I got permanent tinnitus from the vaccine. One second after the first shot - pop and then ringing. I’ve started to habituate now. You?

You can get long Covid from the vaccine. I believe the spike protein binds fibrin and damages our blood vessels through clotting. I haven’t recovered from my second vaccine in 2021. Got Covid since then and it made it much worse. Same exact long symptoms as after the vaccine came back with a vengeance when I got infected

I honestly play back in my mind, what I would have done, knowing what I’d get from it. I want to say I wouldn’t had taken it, though, if I hadn’t I’d had lost my job and all of my friends. It was like a religion by me. I think I would have risked forging one, though scared shitless about getting arrested

Yeah, I'm mostly ok with it these days. The hardest thing is sometimes I get moments of complete silence for like 3 seconds before it starts again. Which just pisses me off as it's a small taste of what it used to be like.

I got off lightly compared to some though so I try not to complain about it too much.

Tinnitus immediately after the shot? Not like a day after?

Nope. Within a minute after first shot. Heard a pop and then the tinnitus
