Anyone that went through COVID have any weird side effects that they noticed they now have or experience ??? I will start by saying that before COVID, I would sneeze once or twice in a row. After COVID I will now sneeze at least 4 or 5 times or more in a row. God Bless !!!

Strange you should mention this. My whole life I've been a 2-sneezer, but the last few years it's 3-4 sneezes now. I cant remember exactly when this started for me, but I had covid in 2020 and am pretty sure it started after that.

Another item I noticed is that I have a weird dry cough that comes on ever so often. God Bless

After I got the Delta variant 19 months ago, I can only sleep about 4 hours at a time. Afternoon naps right after work, before I go to the gym are now necessary. My sleep has been fucked up since. It sucks.

I too get a cough that seems to come out of nowhere, but I'm not sure I didn't always have that to some degree.

Funny, since Prefontaine mentions sleep, I often find myself lately waking between 3-4am and rarely fall back to sleep. Happened this morning. I woke a bit before 4, sat up and read for a couple of hours, then turned out the light and went back to sleep for another two hours. Kinda fucks up the day.

Most of my taste is back after having lost it for close to a year. I used to like a mild IPA beer, but most were just to hoppy and bitter for me. Now I can tolerate any IPA and enjoy the hops. Not sure that's a downside.

The wife and I have both had covid twice now.

I’ve had no side effects. But the wife lost both her sense of taste and smell. Her sense of smell has come back a little, but her sense of taste is almost completely gone.

It’s been about six months now with no improvement for her. She jokes that we can stop going out to eat because she doesn’t want to pay more for food she can’t taste.

We both had it in Sept 21
My wife still doesn't have full taste/smell back. I only lost mine for about 36hrs.
She got it a 2nd time last month, but was more like a hard flu for about 72hrs.

prosopagnosia reported in the literature. Means face blindness. No I do not have it, thank God.

Sleep issues for me after the second bout. My first infection really messed with my heart function. That has finally come back after several years. My ejection fraction took a major decline following that one.

So 2 more sneezes, a weird dry cough, and certain levels of insomnia?

Yall looking for a cause? Covid? Really?

Is it too soon to ask the Chinese for reparations?

^^^^. The first time we had Covid I spent 6 nights in the hospital as I had high 70s to low 80e O2 reading. To this day I have constant ear ringing, etc.

My wife spent 9 nights in the hospital, was almost intubated, and has permanent lung damage.

We had a damaging loss of income and spent about $16k out of our pockets alone.

Let’s talk about reparations against both the Chinese and fauci for funding the man made virus.

First time I lost sense of smell for a day or so. To make sure, I stuck my Pinaud Clubman Bay Rum bottle practically into my sniffer. No smell but I could sense the burn.

Second time I would get the occasional scent of band-aids, like they were melting or maybe burning. A sort of ozone smell. It made me think that something was going on in my computer case.

I had it SEP 2021. Lost taste and smell. I have a little smell back and can taste some things but not others. Coffee still isn’t right.

May 7 I got knocked for a loop. Residual effects still going on: surprising, productive cough, taste is much diminished, smeller is pretty much disengaged with coffee and smoke exceptions, and the kick in the gut: aphasia; I forget nouns in mid sentence, place names are really problematic, ie: "you know, the street that goes by the school up on the hill", where it's been longer than I have lived here and where my now adult children went. I'm getting tested for the breadth and depth of the thing soonish.

But just for fun, the school was lost to me today and may again be tomorrow, but in other news; from memory:

Twas brillig and the slithey toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe
all mimsey were the borogoves and the momraths outgrabe.

Beware the the jaborwock my son,
the jaws that bite, the claws that catch,

Beware the jubjub bird and shun
the frumious bandersnatch.

So it's pretty clear, I may lose my driver's license but I'll be qualified to run for high public office.

Eye bleeds are 10x more likely in Type 2 diabetics if you've had COVID per my wife's research after her first hand experience.

I was speaking to a family member and they told me that they have noticed after having covid they are not able to hold going #1 or #2 as long. They told me that once they have the urgency to go, they have to go immediately with 5-10 minutes or so, whereas being able to hold it much longer in the past. God Bless !!!

Smell has changed. Everything smells almost overpowering and about the same. Can't tell much difference in scents anymore.
