I have not been able to taste or smell much since I had that stomach virus March 28, 2022. Hospital did a covid test on me it was negative. I was in the hospital 2 days with IVs in my arm. Wife had the same stomach virus 3 days after me, her covid test was negative also. It took 2 months to get over that. Brain fog is nothing new allergies cause that all the time, I hate brain fog it is like being a Zombie and can't think of anything. Memory loss is not new either. I am thirsty most of the time, I eat a lot of salt, I like salt, I carry a salt shaker with me in the vehicle. Allergies cause fatigue really bad some times for several days. Blurred vision comes and goes with allergies but lately blurred vision is here to stay. Twitchy eye comes and goes too. Eye doctor told me once, never come get your eyes tested if your having bad allergies. I tried to ride my bicycle and was all over both sides of the road like a drunk. I did not feel dizzy but I had a terrible time trying to keep the bike balanced. I use to be able to ride that same bike in a straight line.applestar wrote: ↑Sun Feb 19, 2023 7:21 pmHm.

Also reported: suicidality, delusions, inability to yawn, inability to cry, sensation of “brain warmth/on fire,” ludic dreams, sleep apnea, inability to record new memories, speaking unrecognizable words, and hallucinations.
