Need to be in constant motion at the beginning of Covid

I can relate to your story. I share many similarities, though I do have some good things about my health. For that I am grateful.
I was diagnosed by ENT at a major teaching hospital with Post Covid Syndrome, causing smell/taste disorders last year. Also saw neurologist for tingling, numbness, in limbs….My sinuses were ok according to ENT, though I now have almost constant congestion, watery nose, phlegm in throat, can’t shake it ……seeing gastroenterologist too, though that problem predates covid. But, it’s now different. And, I also had major hair shedding. Dermatologist says telegen effluviom from my rapid major weight loss or possibly LC. I’m eating right and exercising. Just want to get rid of these ailments, especially the constant bitter taste.
I think it helps to know others can relate I just wish there was some answers, treatments, etc.

Thankyou for responding!I hope you get better soon!It does sound like we have some similar symptoms.It is just hard going to a doctor with so many symptoms because it is confusing to them.I wish I only had 2 or 3.The only thing I can think of is that since Covid can attack the whole body it also sets off many autoimmune diseases.The problem is alot of Autoimmune Diseases can be seronegative and don't show up in the bloodwork.My extremely dry painful eyes and dry cough could be Sgrogrens.Sgrogrens can cause a bunch of symptoms including walking difficulty which I was surprised to hear about.My hair definitely changed too.When is started coming out it also started fusing together.I had really nice long hair and had to have it cut short.My hairdresser compared my hair to chemo hair when it grows back.It almost looke like I stuck my finger in an electric socket.It does not even grow down anymore,but outwards and my scalp hurts.I guess nerve damage from whatever happened to me.My dermatologist also told me it was telegen effluviom,but I don't think it is that.It is something brought on from the damage to the nerve ending on the scalp.My hair use to grow so fast and was so healthy.It has only been a little over 2 years and I don't even recognize myself in the mirror.I hope we both get more answers soon.
