senses of taste and smell will come back completely and to normal. They aren't gone but weakened and distorted so that she needs dishes to be strongly spiced to enjoy actual flavors and some things she's always liked now don't taste good.
People who had seemingly mild cases are also suffering more serious long-haul symptoms, of course. so fortunate this treatment is available to people in their first 10 days of symptoms. Take care.  |

I'm on a long time music site and I know that DU started around the time this site did. It's funny how DU has many of the same emojis that were popular at the time that the music site uses! Been only on here 10 months, but the other site like 17 or so years. Anyway I've always loved the emoji.
This site has some the other site doesn't have and visa versa. As a Visual Artist I love them. |

Monitor your oxygen levels. I got my first Pfizer on 03/25, I've been double masking since. My fear was the same, being so close, and then "Bam!". You'll be in my prayers.

I'm so sorry.
 The good news is that you've gotten at least one of the shots. My understanding of the vaccines is that they won't necessarily prevent you from getting Covid in all cases but could lessen the severity of the illness. (If that's wrong please correct me) I would still closely monitor your symptoms, check your oxygen levels, and do the v-safe check ins like others have suggested. Sending healing vibes and virtual hugs your way. I hope you feel better soon. |
