This past weekend I started feeling really crappy and gradually got a lot worse. By Saturday night/early Sunday morning I had a bad fever and was experiencing non stop chills for hours. It was probably the most sick Ive ever felt in my life. In my mind it was just a flu rather than Covid because Ive had all of my shots and didnt think catching it would effect me so badly. Luckily those really bad effects didnt last too long and I only had to miss a couple days of work. Throughout the rest of this week Ive still had some lingering effects like a stuffy nose and sore throat, as well as loss of appetite but otherwise Ive been able to function normally and assumed the worst of it was over.

Until today I now realize I cant smell anything. Tried blowing my nose multiple times, thinking it was just plugged up still but no matter how hard I try I cant smell anything I put in front of me. So now Im convinced that it was Covid all long; my work never told me I had to get tested so I didnt bother, now I kinda wish I did just to be sure but I feel like its out of my system at this point. Now Im really worried about how long this loss of smell will last because Im already noticing food/drinks not tasting as good and now it seems likely that my loss of appetite is linked to this. Guess Im just going to have to keep living my life without knowing if/when my sense of smell will return =(
