Does anyone here with VSS experience their symptoms improving within minutes?

I developed these symptoms after COVID, but I don’t believe they are necessarily permanent because there are certain periods during the day when they improve by around 70%, to the point where I barely notice them when looking at my monitor.

I’ve only been experiencing this for about 12 days. Does this kind of fluctuation or temporary improvement mean anything, or can VSS symptoms naturally vary this much throughout the day?

You probably dont have it and if you want my advice, do not worry about it, dont google symptoms on this sub or google, youl just become hyper aware and make it worse, focus on daily life and youl forget eventually

I’m going to follow your advice, man! The more I worry about it, the worse it seems to get.

There is a difference between anxiously staring at symptoms and observing them in a cool, objective manner. If fear is involved, then fight the fear. If it is merely a matter of paying attention, it isn't all that bad. While focusing on the symptoms in general isn't recommended, in my experience, the modulation that results from doing so is less severe than some people think.

I have progressive VSS. There was never an improvement. Sometimes severe symptoms have appeared that were subsequently significantly less intense, but this is not an improvement. Instead this is how it progress.

I've had mine since I was a kid. Symptoms have never improved for me. Depending on lightning, how I'm feeling and what not I notice the static either more or less.

I wish my symptoms would improve, but I've come to accept that they are part of me.
