The total loss of smell is the freakiest symptom. The rest is normal, lingering flu. But that loss of smell is very distinct.
For me, that was the first symptom. I didn't even realize it. I just knew that I was pissed all day because my coffee had no taste. I kept making the pots stronger and stronger and still couldn't taste anything.
When my husband came home he began gagging and shouting about, "WHAT IS THAT DAMN SMELL?!!"
I had no idea what he was talking about.
Two days earlier I'd made a huge batch of chicken soup for the freezer. I'd tossed the guts into the trash and forgotten them. They'd turned and were rotting.
Now I'm the 'super sniffer' of the house. For me to have missed THAT smell is a big deal. That's when I connected the flavorless coffee and realized that I had no sense of smell.
I had it all week. I’m still alive. Felt like the flu, kept me in bed all week and had no taste or smell. Glad it’s finally over.
Also, I never have gotten the cough or hard yo breathe issues. Thank God. Hope it stays that way.
