One other aspect of getting COVID is loss of smell and taste, and I've lost both. This is going to be horrible for a food lover like me, but if it conduces to weight loss, then maybe that's a good thing, at least for now. They say that some people don't recover these senses until long after they've shed their infection. So I might have that to look forward to. Which is not nice.

I did not have that problem myself. In fact, my symptoms didn't really match the usual symptoms I heard from other people. I basically felt like crap for two days and that was it--to be honest, it didn't feel like anything worse than a bad cold. No lingering effects, etc. But the test kit said it was COVID. *shrug*
ReplyDeleteAnyway, just be careful not to overdo the sodium while you are without your sense of taste. I imagine it's going to suck for a while, but it will pass.
I pretty much had the same symptoms as @Charles. But the daughter (late 20's age) of a friend of mine caught COVID very early on, and still has limited taste and lack of energy.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, your loss of taste/smell will be short lived.
