Please let us know if you get some answers.
My taste issues and dry mouth have improved quite a bit, but still have Eustachian tube dysfunction and chronic constipation.
Terrible vision as well which all doctors say is not related.
Who knows??

I also share some of the issues as you! Have you seen a Rheumatologist? I have an appointment to be evaluated for Sjogrens. Idk……I also have dry eye.

UPDATE. I’m glad I got in to see the neurologist, but devastated by the news. He’s pretty sure a Vitamin B12 deficiency caused my hand and foot issues. I got my levels up last year, but apparently that wasn’t enough. Increasing my dosage……so my foot and hand issues are permanent and nothing can improve them. ………….. Having trouble digesting that. Very sad. So, my taste issue that seemed so huge is now not so big. The big question is whether the taste problem is also caused by my Vitamin B12 deficiency…..the doctor didn’t know. And, did it cause my chronic constipation? He didn’t know.

I am glad I got in and discovered what is going on. I need a few days to regroup and figure out my next steps.

Oh, one bright spot. One of the staff members lost their sense of smell for a year, then it returned to normal. It happened right after they got covid.
