I lost my smell last night. It happened over the course of a phở.
At the start, it was fragrant and flavourful; by the end, it was flat with a metallic undertone. I didn't think much of it until I had some Ben & Jerry's and it had the same metallic 'note'. This kicked off a series of smell tests from bathroom odoriser to Czech schnapps, all of which were a hard fail. (Dog farts too, so it's not all lose.) I know this is a common effect of covid-19, but it's a bit scary as developing new symptoms makes me presume that the virus is still gaining ground in my body rather than being on the wane.
This morning I feel the same; same sore/scratchy throat and fatigue since last Saturday, so I don't feel on the decline. I'm checking my blood O2 regularly, and it's at 98% when I am sitting upright, so no warning signs yet. Nothing to do but wait and hope it stays mild and the senses return in full. Tedious. May it remain so.
Cheers,
Shaun
