If you got COVID and lost the ability to taste things, did it ever come back? Otherwise, did you experience any other long term consequences from the pandemic in general?
Never heard any follow ups on the taste thing, so I need answers
4 years since 2020. Time really flies when a catastrophic global event hits you in the face

I never lost taste/smell. But, I lost everything else. I can't work anymore because of covid. It fucked me in the worst way. I'm an American and our disability system is fucked too. So I've been without pay for 2 years. I'm out of money. I don't know what to do tbh.
Why can't you work anymore because of covid? Do you have a weakened immune system so you can't risk being exposed to covid, or did you get covid and now have long covid symptoms? If it's the second one, what long covid symptoms are preventing you from working? I believe you, but it's just so vague that I'm not sure what you're referencing
Thanks for asking.
It's actually both. I have some other health issues, so it's not just the long covid, but covid was the last straw. From covid alone, I have heart issues, lung issues, GI issues, brain fog, extreme fatigue. And because of the heart issues, i currently cannot take any adhd meds, so my concentration is shit. I also experienced medical trauma during this time, so i have a bunch of mental health issues now too.
Basically, there is no part of my body that hasn't been affected by covid. It is a terrible disease that i wouldn't wish on anyone.
And yes, i am vaccinated and boosted, which i think is the only reason i didn't die.
