    I had covid one time, back in the Fall of 2020, and my sinuses where absolutely fucked beyond belief, never had such sinus pains… and then I had absolutely no smell or taste for one and a half years afterwards. I was extremely worried I was going to live life without, but fortunately I did regain those senses. Now every couple months I will get dry coughs that will have me on the verge of throwing up from coughing so hard, it’ll last like a day, and then I’m fine until the next time and I’m not sure what causes it.

      When I had COVID I got sharp pains in my left ear (among other symptoms) and in the mornings my head was spinning and lost balance.

      Since then whenever I have a normal cold my left ear gets blocked up and rings more. Any my sinus generally are more sensitive. I find it plays up more, as if a minor cold which would barely register previously is enough to trigger slightly larger symptoms.

        I also had my COVID infection move into my ear, and I’m pretty sure it caused the subsequent tmjd.

      So, thankfully I only lost taste for like a week or so when I got it in 2022, but the sinus thing? Yeah. That was the worst part. Everything else was minor in comparison. It felt like someone hooked an air compressor to my head.
