@celia16, one of the 'joys' of this group is learning that any of us are not "the only one - no one else has mentioned THAT symptom before" - and I so appreciate what you wrote. When I'm teaching and my voice starts to go (sometimes entirely), I find ways to excuse it - allergies or "I've been on too many zoom meetings today using my voice" - and do my best to regroup w/ a froggy sound. It is troublesome -- and more because it's uncomfortable.

Is yours accompanied by tinnitus and/or "oceans in your ears"? When I've had sinus infections in the past, my ears never felt 'congested' - and never did I hear oceans!

The number of symptoms from having had this virus are stunning. The good is that now the med and science folks that have an official say agree that anything that occurred after a + COVID test, even if one's COVID symptoms were not severe and/or didn't cause hospitalizations, and last 3 months or more indicate Post-Covid or Long Covid or the misery we feel, eh?

I hope you find relief w/ the nose spray. I've yet to find any that change the symptoms or that cause my mouth to not have a rash-like reaction on my one inner cheek. (That's for the head-related stuff.) Resigning oneself to living like this is the challenge.

Here's to us and all feeling human and being heard.
