That's exactly how it was for me in 2021. My roommate had been pretty miserably sick, even running moderate fever. So when it was confirmed coof, our boss told me I could either start wearing a mask or leave and get tested. As a server, I didn't want to answer or explain to all my tables why I was suddenly wearing a mask when I hadn't been prior, so I chose to do a home test, which I grabbed in the Walgreens drive through on my way home from work. I'd had the slightest headache that morning, but ibuprofen fixed it completely.
As soon as I swabbed I developed sinus stuffiness. I mean immediately, and I was fine up until the swab. Tested positive. Later in the day I developed a weird "eye headache" that just felt like straining the eyes too much while looking to the extreme side, but it felt that way all the time. I didn't believe my "positive" result until 3 days in while I was eating and I really REALLY noticed the texture of the food. That's when I realized I couldn't actually taste it. I'm fortunate, that only lasted a day and a half and was restored. (I did take ivermectin and drank lots of tonic water...)
