Is this long term problem caused by the virus still being alive or by damage, still recovering, that the virus caused a long time ago.

You know, this reminds me of when we used to do a floater. No matter what you did, you couldn't get rid of that smell in your nostrils and food didn't taste right for a day or two.

Months of something like that must be absolutely maddening....God Bless her...

Sorry to hear it. Good news is the marginal improvement, the bad news is obvious.

George, what is SOB? Certainly not my usual understanding of that acronym in your context.

I would think that she is losing weight, since she must force herself to eat. That would be so awful. Not the weight loss, I'm always looking to lose weight. But to have food smell and taste awful, that's crewel.

Thanks, Covid!! You SOB.

George, there are more and more articles finally coming out about long COVID. Even Mayo is starting to address this, and they are often late adopters of things like this, which I find frustrating. It's encouraging to see it gain attention, and perhaps more scrutiny for treatment options.

Thanks!

There is some news coming out that the vaccine may help alleviate long symptoms. I wonder if it’s like some other viruses that hide.

You and I must have read the same article, Mik. Hubby and I are hoping it's correct.

Luke’s sense of taste is finally back to 100% as of tonight, but his sense of smell is still off. This is 4 months after an extremely mild case.

Lucky for me my sense of smell started to fade years ago

[George K]

Remember she does tele-visits...

[Mik]

Strange stuff this virus.

We're going up to see D2 tomorrow afternoon. Mrs. George, D2 and I have all been vaccinated, so we're OK.

Jesus. It’s been 6 months.

Just as an aside, I thought the term "elephant's asshole" was funny and descriptive.

I assume she inherited her mother's sense of humor?
