@george-k How is your daughter doing?

@george-k How is your daughter doing?

Thanks for asking. No worse, and only marginally better. Fatigue is OK, but SOB persists.

Her biggest problem is the parosmia. So many things that she'd like to eat smell like vomitus or rotting meat. She's in a "Long COVID" clinic, and they're working on retraining her sense of smell.

It's been 5 ½ months.

I was watching Fauci last night on CSPAN in some sort of congressional inquiry. The question was on therapy as a strategy vs just vaccine.... he said long covid is just not understood yet and there are so many different long covid symptoms but they are working on finding what is common. Food as smelling rotten came up, I didn’t know it was a thing.

Just curious, what about foods that she used to find unappetizing? Has she find any food that smells good to her, even if it’s food that she used to dislike?

Lucas is only now getting back some of his sense of smell. Weird frigging disease.

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.
