What's the weirdest covid side effect you've had?

[sniper22]

This thread isnt about the shot, its about side effects from actually having the virus. Plenty of other threads to bitch about the shot.

%shots! well, cept boobie shots and maybe jello shots but I'm happily married so I guess I'll stick to spring water

I've had tinnitus for almost 40 years, started when I was in my 20s, I don't even notice it anymore.

I had mild tinnitus for about three years. After Covid, it's almost completely gone and extremely faint now.

I have slightly more tinnitus...maybe it will fade.

The wife, son, and I had it. Tomorrow is my first day back to work. I was instructed by the Doc to take 5 days isolation time, but my employer said 10. I feel like I've been doing time. I'm ready to go back.

My wife had very little sense of smell and taste before covid. Now she has none according to her. I lost smell and still don't have it. My sense of taste is off too. I can taste some foods, but not like my normal way before covid.

I had the weirdest weakness. It was just a real run down feeling. It was weird in that it was on my right side of my body. I thought maybe I had a mild stroke or had a clot or something. Headaches (which are extremely rare for me) were pretty common. Sleep was all over the place. All day, all night etc. It was weird. Just overall a strange thing for me.

still have some exhaustion...but I haven't taken a nap during the day in the past week. huge improvement. first week I was sleeping 14hrs a day...never at night...sigh.

I got delta in early October. It started for me with a rapid heart rate and slightly drippy nose. Then two days later, I started smelling burning metal everywhere, like welders' fumes or maybe like a car fire despite my family assuring me there was no metal smell in the air. Then I lost my smell and taste completely. A cough started up and I also developed super annoying lower back pain. I laid down on a foam mat and had my wife dig her heals into the bad spot to help relieve the pain. Diarrhea was next for about five days, complete with a raw, swollen, burned out asshole. I had a mild 100 deg fever for about six days total and had tachycardia (rapid resting heart rate of 100 BPM) for about 16 days.

During the infection, I developed a stiff neck on the left side, like my neck was popped out. I kept popping it back in, which offered massive relief. Best I could tell the stiff neck might have been a minor case of viral meningitis caused by Covid. After a few weeks of that, I noticed my tinnitus decreasing and has since almost disappeared completely, which is awesome. During and up to 20 days post infection I was totally exhausted. Just checking the mailbox or unloading the dishwasher would wipe me out for about 15 mins afterward. My taste and smell started coming back after about a month. At 90 days post infection, my taste and smell have returned to about 90% of what they were and are improving weekly. My hair has started to fall out more than usual, but I read it can do that post Covid for a few months and then grows back.

I think that was it....

Owner called me into the board room and decided I was not good for his company to knowingly jeopardize his employees and customers. No one got sick. I could have sued but God opened another door for me and it’s been awesome!!

Good for you Sir! And your former boss can go f himself.
