Any who have had COVID: How long ago did you recover and do you have any lingering, off the wall, or otherwise unexplainable nonsense still going on?

I recovered from COVID in late Aug. I had loss of taste & smell and awful skin rashes on my legs. All of these seem to be coming back to haunt me on a regular basis.

I have always had clear skin. Until Covid. Now I am Empress Eczema.

My sense of smell is unreliable AF. Brand New deli turkey? My nose says, "Sizzling roadkill on a 90° afternoon."

Brushing teeth? Peppermint tea? Here's a nice appetizer of bad spinach and kielbasa.

Eating string cheese? Mmm that first bite tastes like... Pesto?!

@MotherDucker My sister got Covid in March and still can't taste food.

@MotherDucker

Had it August too. Taste/smell/energy are randomly available. Got booster #3 with hope no repeat. Masking too.

@LnzyHou I work on an inpatient Leukemia unit. While my coworkers dropped like flies it was a point of pride that I hadn't gotten it. There were literally three left among us who hadn't had it. Then we got hit with that omicron variant and we all three were infected within exactly a week of each other. I was the last woman standing. Until I wasn't.

@MotherDucker

I was traveling in PA & ended up ER where 12 yr old doc gave me Paxlovid RX. Great anti viral. I tested negative on day 6 after five days of PAX.

@LnzyHou aren't they so cute, those wee baby doctors? Full of hopes and dreams....

I'm glad the paxlovid worked well for you. They offered it to me too, but I was a few weeks post-op and didn't want to risk anything at the time. I rode it out, although from everyone I know who has taken it, it seems pretty effective.

@MotherDucker
Double vaxxed, double boosted, got it in August. Have a shitton of risk factors, blood oxygen was dropping, should've gone to ER but didn't realize, cannot take Paxlovid, got monoclonal antibody infusion. 90 days just up today, so I got the bivalent booster. Currently flu-like sick. But lingering issues: skin rashes previously vanquished via allergy shots.
