I've had Covid twice now. The first wild type virus seriously messed up my sense of taste and smell
Summary
Dune 86085 had Covid twice. The first, wild-type infection badly affected their sense of taste and smell, which improved somewhat. A week after a mild Omicron infection they developed sore, dry eyes and an eyebrow twitch; by June 2022 it had lasted six months. Anti-inflammatory eye drops did nothing, and by September 2022 the eye symptoms were unchanged.
