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

[Triptones]

Insomnia. Awful acid reflux. The absolute worst mouth sores I've ever had. Swollen tongue. Hyper sensitive scalp. Weight loss (25 lbs). Body aches. I can taste salty foods but not sweets. I can't smell my dog's farts (Good thing). Excessive saliva. Zero energy.

I forgot about acid reflux which I never had. Now I have been taking Nexium every day and it has calmed way down. I get winded sometimes just walking upstairs and back down.

I'm unvaxxed and so far I have not had covid, at least not that I'm aware of. I am very interested in threads like this one with first hand information. Thanks to all that give their perspective, thoughts and experiences. Hopefully it will stay on track.

Caught covid in July of 2021. Smell still off as is taste. I get the shakes 3-4 times a week in my hands. Weak still. I eat once a day. No real appetite.
But I'm still able to praise my Father and my Lord and Savior Yeshua.
Come Lord Yeshua, come.

Every now and then a "zero" drink will taste of mildew, a metallic taste comes and goes, a smell closest I can describe as a cigarette smell.

No jab and had Delta. Still smell cigarette smoke and diesel exhaust.

I get flashbacks to 30 years ago working in a garage!!

A lot of things smelled like ripe garbage when I had it. Been a couple of weeks since I got over it and my sense of taste and smell are starting to come back.

Had it back it nov 2020, lost taste for over a month, took about 6-7 months to get most of my smell back. Took another 2-3 months before i could smell farts or turds. Reflux that had been gone for a while came back. For a good 4-5 month period i smelt smoke and gas everywhere i went, especially in a car that had leather interior.

I have been getting the cigarette smell in odd places as well. At church yesterday I was surrounded by non smokers so pretty sure none had a smoke smell on them but smelled the distinct smell of my grandpas pipe tobacco. (prince Albert if I remember) He died in the 1980’s. Brought back some good memories but still odd.

No jab here. I know SOOO many people who have had adverse reactions to it, it'll be a honest day in Washington before I get stabbed. Besides, the hospital's own statistics were that 55% of the admitted patients were vaxxed. No, no jab.

The good news is: WELCOME to the natural immunity club!
