This but also the infinite fatigue
There has been some recent progress on this: https://www.amsterdamumc.org/en/spotlight/tiredness-experienced-by-long-covid-patients-has-a-physical-cause.htm
Apparently, avoiding cardiovascular exercise helps. Anecdotal comments on Reddit suggest that adding in some weightlifting helps as well. Good luck.
It’s a waiting game, unfortunately that’s how viral infections & their symptoms work. It could be a few days, a few weeks, a few months… and yes could even be a few years. And for some people the lingering symptoms due to a viral infection never really go away.
For what it’s worth the people I know that have lost their sense of taste due to covid regained it after a few weeks/months.
Eat spicy food. I ate the hottest wings I could find and my sense of taste started coming back the next day.
Related question: Does everyone that gets covid lose their sense of taste?
Nope, I could still smell and taste, although it was perhaps slightly diminished. I wish I would have lost my sense of taste briefly because the cough medicine I was taking tasted absolutely disgusting.
Maybe not totally related, but I think my sense of smell has always been not as great as other people, even before COVID. People will sometimes complain about a specific smell and I don’t always notice it.
No. I’ve had it twice and have had no long-term effects (that I know of). I’ve been vaccinated twice and gotten a booster. I didn’t even lose my sense of taste while experiencing symptoms.
Interesting. Thanks.
I even got Long Covid, but I never lost my taste or smell. I kind of wish I did. Because I’m too weak to brush my teeth regularly.
I got mine back after about 3 days
That would have been a scary three days for me. My diet is terrible, but I enjoy it. Losing my sense of taste would absolutely suck.
I’m glad you’re OK!
