I had covid in the fall of 2020. My taste and smell were my first signs. I still do not have taste or smell back. My tongue feels numb or tingling at times, I continue to get sores on my tongue and gums. I have been to ENT and had biopsies done, nothing. I had blood work done lately, because I feel exhausted and feel like I am foggy. I had one of the test come back high so was sent to rheumatologist. He did the same test and it came back fine. He said that happens at times to read high but is not. He listened to all my symptoms and believes I am dealing with long term covid. It gets disheartening to continue to see no progress in my symptoms. I have a very understanding family but still feel like I don't want to complain to them. It's just something others who haven't dealt with this, understand. I just joined this group hoping to see how others are dealing with this.
