Ok, so who had Coivid in here?

I also had it back in Nov and the Vitamin pack of Zinc Magnesium and D seemed to help the most for me. Sense of smell and taste are still not back to 100%.

Oh, welcome back to MM Sona.

Yes, I've also heard of people treating their symptoms with magnesium. I'm glad to hear you got past the rough parts, but really sorry to hear about your sense of smell taste. Hopefully your nerves/senses will make a comeback. I wonder if there may be some compounds that you use to stimulate your senses back but I'm not sure on that. And Thank you. :)

Brutal! Are you over there FT now or just on a rotation over there? Have a lot of friends that work there along with my wife's practice being there.

I have been performing my clinical rotations there since last Sept. I really like it there, but I'm inexperienced and simply thrilled to be working again. What department does your wife work there? How does she like it?

Lost my "step" grandma to it early on, she was pretty healthy overall. Mom and her husband got it but luckily I didn't get it after being around them. I've worried more about getting it and passing it on to someone than me getting it so I've kept my bubble pretty small. Wife/brother in law/mother in law/parents are all vaccinated now so I'm the oddball out.

That is tough, I'm sure nobody wants to lose their Step-Grammy. Did she have any co-morbidities? That's the key consideration with this virus it seems, it has an immense propensity for host transmission, and the evolving mutated strains are getting far more contagious in seems. Sorry to hear about your loss.

Same. I know my dad misses his grandkids, but I won't chance it. The kids will be fine if they get it. I will PROBABLY be fine. My dad wouldn't survive it. Not worth the chance. FaceTime it is, until this is under control.
 
Andy, UgH! I cant imagine what you have been thru.... with that said I lost 2 uncles less than a week apart from each other..... Wanda and I had it last month... still cant smell anything.
 
Yes as my daughter told me about it.
It tasted pretty good but I really did not notice any difference after.

It was odd, sweets and salty were the only 2 flavor profiles that did not change drastically. Give me a mint cookie and I could not taste mint at all. Eating a good steak I could only pick up the seasoning. It was depressing.20210114_191457_resized.jpg20210114_191949_resized.jpg20210114_192505_resized.jpg

Has anyone tried the burning of the orange trick to get your senses back?

Have you got your senses back? My girlfriends been since Christmas without hers and starting to get paranoid that she won't get then back
 
For the most part YES. I would say I am about 95% with sense of smell. Took a long time though. I had it back around Thanksgiving and really by end of January it was coming back. I was also a bit freaked out. The orange trick did not work.
 
I got it the week before Halloween, unfortunately gave it to OJ and my neighbor the night I started coughing. My wife and 2 year old got it too but never showed symptoms. I lost my smell and my taste changed to where stuff was extra salty, so I didn’t eat much. Had pretty much just fevers for about two weeks. Then back to normal. I still have only about 25% smelling power. Don’t really notice it much though. Just spent 2 months in Florida not really wearing masks and didn’t catch it again though, so I assume I’ve still got antibodies.
 
Had a text convo with a longtime friend earlier this week. He's pretty much the same age as me (mid 40s), quite a healthy guy, fit, no underlying issues, etc. He told me he had just been released from the hospital after 6 days in due to Covid complications. In summary, he said the first 2 days were like a bad bout of the flu... day 3 that subsided but he started struggling to breathe and went to the ER. Six days of steriods, oxygen, anti-virals, etc before he was discharged. He is still not able to take a full breath, tired and gets winded, but getting better.

He said a few things that stood out to me.

First, he said in all honesty he had moments were he thought he wasn't going to make it. He sent his wife all of his account info, passwords, etc (banking, retirement funds, etc). He also said "I wasn't scared to get it until I actually did and got it bad." He said it was like drowning out of water and "it's the scariest thing ever" and finally, "the execs in my office all refuse to wear masks. I had a meeting with them 3 days before I got sick."

This stuff isn't a joke. Please stay safe.
