How many days in are you from first day of symptoms?Still no smell/taste - that is the most annoying part of this whole thing. I'm hungry and dreaming of cheeseburgers and tacos, but nothing tastes like anything so there's no point in eating it. Inside my nose smells faintly like PlayDoh and my mouth tastes like a stale ashtray even though I haven't smoked in over a week. I can taste sweet and sour, but not what it is. Like, I can tell the jello I'm eating is sweet but not that it's strawberry.
I'm at the grouchy stage of the recovery process.
Are you saying that the ‘rona is the cure to stop smoking?
How many days in are you from first day of symptoms?
Typically, It’s around the 7th 8th day when you start on the upswing or take the turn for the worse.It's hard to tell. When Monello came home 10 days ago with his diagnosis, I was sinusy - I chalked that up to psychosomatic crazy because before he came home and told me he had the rona I was fine. A couple days later I had a mild headache but no other symptoms. I started this thread on Monday, and that was the first day I had defined and severe enough symptoms that I knew it was the rona. So maybe 5 days? Or it could be 10 days.
If I get shot by MS-13, don't let them record me as a covid death.
You’re going about this all wrong.What's annoying is that the "medical experts" are all over the place as to when I can expect get my smeller back. Five studies produce five different results - you can google it yourself. Of course studies are only as good as the people studied, and researchers rely on those folks to tell the truth .... So according to the CDC most people get their smell back in a couple of weeks, or up to a year, or never.
Way to nail it down, CDC.
When Z and L got it in March, it took a couple of months for them to get it back.
Each case is individual. Of the 4 of us who had it at the same time each had there own experience of when there senses came back and how well they’ve worked since. Nothing you read will tell you. You have to wait and see.All the way or even partially?
It's helpful to get info from real people rather than the fake crap on the internet.

Z got his back quickly, about three weeks, it took L about two months.All the way or even partially?

3 months and I got partial smell back. At 8 or so months now and it's still pretty much the same as at month 3. I would say I have maybe 33% of the normal smells back, about 33% of things I can smell, but they smell wrong, and 33% I still can't smell at all.
My oldest took nearly 3 weeks. (upper 20's)
His GF's father said it was 6-8 weeks. (mid 50's)
Girl in my office (35) 2 months
I have a question, have you run a fever?
None of the people who lost smell and taste ran a fever but tested positive.
When I thought I had it but couldn't get tested end of Feb 2020/March 2020, I ran a fever but did not lose taste or smell although everything tasted and smelled like Play-Doh.
