Tested positive for COVID-19

Original thread of my symptoms:
https://forum.obnoxiousbrutes.com/showt...9640953&page=1

I know by now there’s been 100s of threads of miscers testing positive and I know I’ll be fine. But holy ****, the loss of smell is ****ing trippy

Edit:
Not looking for your sympathy, *******s. I know I’m not the only one. Just looking for advice

Absolutely if this was before January 20th! The common cold, flu and allergies were nonexistent until January 20th. Now you can only catch COVID once.

It’s trippy.
I couldn’t smell my coffee this morning. Sucks that it might take a while for it to come back though

My mom had it like 3-4 months ago and still hasn't recovered her taste/smell. This is probably the worst part about COVID lol.

Any idea how you caught it? Might sound stupid but you may recall when you have been exposed

Fukk I must be one of the lucky ones. I would say at least 50% of my smell was back after 7-10 days. Almost 3 months out now and I still think I’m only 95% back on smell. Taste seems fine tho

watchout your vitamins bro, srs. Took me like a month to get my smell 100% back.

I also had problems getting erections for like 2 months after recovering. Turns out I was borderly anemic and depleted of vitamins, took a multi and after a week I was cutting diamonds again. So my advice is take a multi after recovery and get lots of sleep. Those 2 months WERE NOT FUN AT ALL srs I was borderline losing my chit while that lasted

Yes. Zinc is regularly used for taste and smell loss, and is a symptom of zinc deficiency. Doctor's advice after someone I know who had little taste and smell (and weird taste/smells for particular foods) for over a month from covid. Zinc fixed it within a week.
