“Long covid” is an imaginary disease.
This woman may have other issues, but
I beg to differ. Stupidly got mModerna two doses injections, three months later Covid (antigen test negative), and then six months, refusing any injection boosters , got Covid a second time, (antigen test negative, seology test positive) and besides immediate illness, promptly lost all taste and smell. That was last September, and continues to this day. Gatorades, coffee, tea, corn oil, all taste the same. Bleach, vinegar, lemon juice, orange juice, milk, all smell the same.
Currently, whiffs of lavender, vanilla, salt, for all of five seconds max in an hour.
Odors of horse urine or cat pee in my head for hours, tinnitus raging to the max, and multiple episodes of vertigo monthly.
Sure, it’s all in my head, just like I’m an astronaut. Who’s claustrophobic.
Bless your heart. Couldn’t think of any other nice thing to say.
In all seriousness I pose the question:
Have you considered treating yourself for the virus? Or have you and it failed?
My SIL lost all smell (a buddy of his as well). They both followed my suggestion to eradicate the virus from their noses and both now have normal smell/taste. It validated my hypothesis that the virus is capable of going latent in certain tissues in the body, but not necessarily without effect.
Myself, I’ve encountered what I finally determined to be symptoms of pancreatitis and believe it to be related to my 2nd round of the virus (no, I am not jabbed).
Acquiring some ‘horsepaste’ or the like is high on my list, but I’m trying to ascertain if anyone has self-treated with antivirals for ‘long-covid’, since I’m reluctant to order pills from an overseas supplier.
