Summary
Osprey 29696 had a COVID-19 infection around mid-October 2021, followed by weeks of brain fog that lifted and gave way to daily dull pressure headaches, along with anxiety and fear; an MRI was meant to settle things. A scan and a brain MRI were clear. The headaches continued for months and menthol rubs helped only temporarily. By June 2022 their sense of smell was still partially missing.
