I lost my sense of smell an day 6 , not returned as yet .


I’ve pencilled in a to return to work next Monday but I’ve got to make a lot of progress over the next days - a can’t risk going back then having a relapse .

Are you testing negative? It'd be slightly odd if you still have active Covid so you may well have some sort of post-viral syndrome going on. Worth getting out for a PCR and then seeing your doctor if it comes back negative. If it's positive you're just still fighting the virus so it's normal immune response taking a bit longer than usual. Get a PCR though as a LF negative is far from conclusive.

The fatigue and temperature spikes could easily be postviral (immune system doing weird stuff even though there's no live Covid in your system any more).

A few years back I had some weird virus and then in the aftermath, after being fine all through the day every day, I was getting a temp spike (big one, like 39.5 degrees+) every single night at around 1am - 4am. My skin was actually boiling hot to the touch and I couldn't sleep through it. It went on for well over a month, ****ing horrible.

A friend of mine at Uni also got increased fatigue after glandular fever that lasted nearly 8 months .

As for the sense of smell/taste thing, unfortunately I've known a few people who got that with Covid and it didn't fully return for about 3 or 4 months ... so you might just have a bit of a wait with that.

My intrigue got the better of me after reading this post .. and I did a LF test ...

I just tested negative so that’s hopeful .

I think it follows that it is just the immune system .. the sweats have been getting less frequent each day and nothing so far today .

if you tested negative and test negative again tomorrow, you are on the mend. That's the most important thing. You may need to slow down because you get tired easily for a while, but you will be over the worst of it

Ooops ..

On closer inspection a very , very faint line is still there .. still looks hopeful and I am feeling brighter this morning - just get very breathless after any moving around . I guess that’s to be expected though

I had a very faint line on Day 4 Zizu and was then negative day 5 and 6. You're at the end now and hopefully will regain your strength daily

My wife had a very mild dose thankfully -she did test everyday-she had 7 positives then two negatives on day 8 and 9 .

This is my day nine so it does seem to be about right given I’ve had a much harder time of things

I've had something like that a while back. Horrible
