Long covid rare symptoms

Posted by cameralens @cameralens, Sep 28 10:07pm

Hi, I'm new, so bear with me.
I tested positive for covid in 2020. Very atypical symptoms. No fever,
no cold or sore throat. I became very tired on my 10th day and i developed this incredible burning sensation in my mouth and up my nose. The skin on the outside of my nose and around my mouth was on fire! I have had three shots and developed severe muscle and joint pain that I didn't have with the active virus. That took about a year to finally go away. Since then, I went through "everything always smells like burnt onions, " to the rancid smell stage, and for the last 4 years, intermittent nasal, mouth and skin burning.
It will reappear without warning, stay for a few days or a few weeks. And it's always worse at night. I can't find any information about this "condition" anywhere. My husband is a pcp, and one of his partners referred me to an ENT. I've seen her twice and she has not heard of my particular post civic issues. I am beyond frustrated. Right now I'm taking Centrum silver power her recommendation. Can anyone relate??? Thank you!

How nice that you feel so secure. Yes, COVID continues to morph and is here to stay. My docs - all of them in different fields - have warned me that even with updated vaccinations, I must be masked and as careful as possible - age+other illnesses+LC they've said could be the end of me. Tho' pain on some days makes me wish it were "the end", I'm not ready to leave.

I agree and think about that, sometimes way too often. The pain, there is no way to describe it to others who haven’t experienced this. I have other pain in addition to LC. too. (Two knees bone on bone/arthritis, torn meniscus’s, cysts- two hips full of arthritis, sciatica, and lower 1/2 of back with arthritis, degenerative disc disease, buldging discs, cysts and spurs ( all needing surgery and or replacements) - A prolapsed uterus, bladder that potentially could also have cancer but won’t know till surgery. Full hysterectomy as well as bladder surgery. - Plus, getting colonoscopy and endoscopy in 3 weeks because of gastrointestinal issue (IBSC/D), vomiting dark green bile, painful stomach cramps and extremely low Vitamin B-12 and Folic Acid I take shot for but isn’t increasing much. ** Dr is questioning some type of gastric cancer from other symptoms as well. PLEASE CHIME IN IF ANYONE HAS THESE ALSO. I am thinking it’s not related to Covid but this did start all since 1st Covid.
