I am suspicious it was initially covid because I completely lost my sense of taste for one day, despite negative rapid tests.

it’s been over 2 months and it’s never fully gone away ... Feeling very deflated and like there is no end in sight.

Summary
In early January 2024 they caught a pink eye infection from their partner and his daughter; it never fully cleared and kept flaring weekly, with red, watery, itchy eyes, for over two months. They suspected the infection was COVID because they lost their sense of taste for a day despite negative rapid tests. Antihistamine drops (cromolyn sodium) helped about a week before another flare-up; they felt deflated and saw no end in sight.
