I have not been on here for a while. I'm really glad I took a look at what you posted. I have never been allergic to grass or anything of the sort. About a month ago I was pulling out pieces of grass in an area where I have a flower bed. Within seconds my fingernails were inflamed and felt like they were on fire. When I looked at my fingers because of the pain, I was shocked that my fingernails were white with red swirls and my fingers were itching like crazy. A few minutes later a rash went up my arm. I ran inside and washed my hands thoroughly. I thought perhaps one of our aerial planes flew over the evening before, as they often do with chemicals to kill the bugs. I disregarded it. A couple days later I went outside, I had a little area of tall grass that I was pulling out that the mowers missed, again my fingers were itching, my legs brushed against the grass, my legs were itching as well. I told my husband this is crazy I've never been allergic to grass. Now that I'm reading this I realize I'm not the only one. Long covid has changed so much for me but I try not to own it. Ironically also you mentioned eczema in the ears. I am a tennis player, I use sunscreen as I should, my ears especially in my left one we're really red and a little scaly, I thought that I had put too much sunscreen on and somehow it affected my ears. That has never happened in the past. Again reading your post I guess that's just one of the crazy things that people would post covid like myself have to deal with. I try not to think about it because it frightens me as to what it's really doing to my system, things that we don't even know yet. Im so glad you posted this, thank you!

So sorry for what is happening to you. Covid effects are unpredictable and strange. I have been in health care since 1974. Write health education books... my body used to function like a trusty Toyota. Now a yugo lemon ..lol ....my thick hair falling out . Eye sight changed ..ringing and pounding in the ears .. esophagus spasms ....gut issues, right ankle and foot pain . Skin weird sensations....like a worm is wiggling under the skin ..or like a wire is scraping my skin, balance, endurance very poor. Then the anxiety, depression and nightmares....hay i wrote a book on Overcoming depression.....but the mental and emotional covid is worse than the physical......lots of prayer. Bible study . . God alone is my healer ...

I fear the things I don't know about as well, but it seems like I have a new allergy every month or so. Thank you for responding to my post, I'm just so happy to know that I am not alone and there are other's out there with similar experiences. It has taken over my life for the past two years, but I have so much more hope that I will be able to find some answers now and see some specialists.
