I knew I had it when lost smell and taste. Luckily that came back in about 3 weeks. Unluckily mine stayed and became Covid-Pneumonia. I just didn't move for 10 days and it wasn't by choice. I still get out of breath way quicker but am ok in general.

I'm sorry for your wife. That must be tough. I've wondered, is this complete loss of taste and smell or just certain tastes and smells? Does she say she quite literally can't smell anything and can't taste anything? My daughter, some 8 months post-Covid still has issues with certain tastes but her senses of taste and smell, for the most part, are back.
So are the posts about Desmond Howard’s wife. Despicable! He has a nice looking family.These comments about Herbstreit’s health are classless.
A friend of mine had it last fall and her smell and taste are still off.
She gets phantom smells often she says too
I'll need to look into that procedure.Same thing happened to me (anosmia after flu also in 1995!). My ENT doc did a laser turbinectomy in the office (local anesthesia) and I re-gained my sense of smell.
You must not have known about or have since forgotten, her Tweets about PSU shortly after the Sandusky situation. She's fair game for ridicule.So are the posts about Desmond Howard’s wife. Despicable! He has a nice looking family.
That is crazy! I've seen and heard about losing your sense of taste and smell but I never knew to what extent that was happening. I wish the best for your wife.So, it seems like if something is sour, she can taste that it is sour, or if something is spicy, she can taste that, or sweet. But lets say it is lemon or lime juice, she couldn't tell the difference. And anything that doesn't have one of those tastes, apparently has no taste. Every once in awhile, she says she can smell something but it doesn't really stay.
I lost mine for about three days and I hate it. It slowly came back for me thankfully.

I will still hate them when I’m 100 (if I get that old). It will help fuel meF' her and Desmond.
To clarify, your friend got Covid in December and was fine until after getting the vaccine in March? 🤷♂️I had Covid early December and have not regained my sense of smell and taste. A friend of mine had Covid at the same time and was fine. He got the vaccine in March and lost most of his sense of smell and taste.
A tad too harsh if you ask me. Isn’t it rather obvious that he, as a well known public figure, is merely polling his many followers to see if anyone has had a similar experience. Just reading the responses in this thread has yielded commentary on the subject, and more people follow him than post in this board.I am glad he is seeking out COVID advice from all of those COVID experts on Twitter. That appears to be a great move and I see he is getting all of the medical advice possible. The collective twitter COVID treatment knowledge far exceeds that of the vast resources of medical advice a TV celebrity could possibly expect.
Ok, do you are suggesting, a year and a half into this thing, his best source of information is Twitter? C’mon man.A tad too harsh if you ask me.

I have seen hundreds of people who have had COVID and a significant proportion of them report lingering losses or disturbances of smell, and to a lesser extent, taste. If I had to guess, I would say it’s around 25%.
There are smell training exercises that people sometimes report as being beneficial, but they take months.
It seems like this is a bigger post COVID deficit for those in their 30’s and 40’s than any other group.

Does this impact the "EYE TEST" he is so famous for bringing to a talking head near you?
Sorry I didn’t respond earlier. The phantom cigarette smoke odor is a common one I hear. People often say they know when something smells bad, but they cannot define what the bad smell might be.Hmmm... What do you mean by "disturbances of smell?"
It's probably just as accurate as most of the shit that's been put out there by so called medical experts.Ok, do you are suggesting, a year and a half into this thing, his best source of information is Twitter? C’mon man.

Hmmm... Did I post somewhere about my phantom cigarette smoke smell?
I asked you that because up until I read your post, I assumed the constant cigarette smell I was smelling was caused by something else. Then after reading your post, I put 2+2 and... Shit, I think I have long covid! Lol
Did you see the reports that another symptom of long covid is diminished intelligence?
Good pointIt's probably just as accurate as most of the shit that's been put out there by so called medical experts.
Do you have any other symptoms ?Hmmm... Did I post somewhere about my phantom cigarette smoke smell?

I'm glad I came across your comment. Before COVID had a name, I was as sick as a dog at the end of October, 2019. I has all the C19 symptoms; killer cough, fever, sore throat, loss of taste and smell. I roughed it out, with natural honey being the only thing to stop the coughing. To this day I smell phantom cigarette smoke. I'm convinced I had COVID.
I know someone who tested positive for covid with the only symptom being loss of smell in dec or jan. The sense of smell still has not returned with the exception of a phantom sulfur smell a few times per day (no fart jokes!) and that is only very recent to even get that back. And this is after going to an ENT doc and attempting to use oral steroids and retraining with essential oils. And strangely the sense of taste never diminished.I'm glad I came across your comment.

He may never get his sense of smell or taste buds back.See the link below. From the article:
“ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit said Tuesday that he hasn't been able to taste or smell since he tested positive for COVID-19 back in late December.
Herbstreit tweeted on Tuesday: "Been 5 months since I tested positive for Covid. Still can’t taste or smell. Anyone else experience this?? Did it ever come back?? Haven’t tasted a meal since late December. After 5 months...is this my new normal or will taste and smell come back???"
Herbstreit notably covered last season's College Football Playoff semifinal between Clemson and Ohio State during his diagnosis.
According to the Yale School of Medicine, as many as a third of people diagnosed with COVID-19 reported losing their sense of smell.”
Kirk Herbstreit says he 'still can't taste or smell' five months after testing positive for COVID-19

The unknown long term effects are the scariest part of this damn thing and why I was one of the first to get the vaccine. My grandson and a few nieces / nephews had it and I worry about them everyday. My grandson became very ill and was in the hospital for a week and still has a hard time breathing at times - he refused to initially get the shot. To compare it to other diseases / illnesses is just not practical as we're just into this thing about a year and a half.I had Covid early December and have not regained my sense of smell and taste. A friend of mine had Covid at the same time and was fine. He got the vaccine in March and lost most of his sense of smell and taste.
So after the vaccine they got their two senses back?I know of two who had no taste or smell until they got their vaccinations.
That is an extraordinary horrendous post BWApos, but it is really funny. 😎I bet that he can still taste Urban Myer’s dick.
