It’s been a year since I had Covid. No rashes , but hives still. I take allergy to stop the hives. Hope it gets better for you. I have noticed joint pain, just figure it’s getting older.

Upper eyelid meibomitis has affected me. My opthamologist has me washing my lids every night with baby shampoo.
My eyes ,ears,nasal passages, skin,hair. nails all ultra dry.
The oil ducts( not tear ducts....those are different) in lids dried up causing the meibomitis. Heat mask followed by massage of lids helps. I have a cool mist vaporizer bedside every night also.

I’m happy to hear that my symptoms are not unique…I had covid in 2022 and realized later on that I also have long covid symptoms, one of them being eye infections, almost every other month my eyes start to itch and burn. I have gone to the doctor and was given medication for it, the doctor couldn’t offer me an explanation why I have this problem.

I've had severe swelling in my eyes, went to a specialist and I have inflammation since I never had that prior he did say covid related but no name for it. It's been nothing but frustration. I hope you get answers

For about a year now, I have had intermittent periods of eyelid swelling that lasts 2-3 days. I have not been able to figure out what causes it. I hadn't thought of associating it with COVID until a fellow nurse told me she has the same thing, and her ophthalmologist told her it was a lasting effect of COVID.
