My first symptom was fever, which quickly shot up to 103 and stayed there for 3 weeks. I had terrible muscle aches the entire time. The day after the fever started, I began vomiting and went straight to urgent care. Complete loss of taste and smell. Headaches.
After 3 weeks of misery, the fever started to come down and was gone in about a week. That’s when I started to get urinary pain and lots of white blood cells, blood, etc.
I sort of got better but I would have periods of relapse…then the depression, anxiety, panic attacks, more UTIs, multiple rashes (I’ve had had multiple biopsies), internal tremors, brain fog, stiff facial muscles, neuropathy, tics, shortness of breath, heart pounding, burning mouth, distorted taste/smell, dizziness, headaches, etc etc etc took hold full time. I have impaired hearing as well but I feel much of it from barotrauma from a scuba mishap. I have tinnitus. I’m in year four since I contracted Covid and there are things that have improved significantly unless I have a crash, which happens about every month, then everything comes back for a short period. What never goes away are the internal tremors, facial tics, pounding heart and brain fog. I have so little short term memory. I did develop both rosacea and allergies to lanolin and beeswax (finally, my dermatologist patch tested me for everything imaginable) so I don’t have rashes anymore, except my face flushes bright red at times.
