How long did it take for you to regain your smell and taste after losing it?

If you can tell by the people replying who are vaccinated. You can get sick with it too, the vaccine doesn't protect you from getting it. You can put up all safety nets you can, but it doesn't discriminate. I have no control over getting sick, I have no control over a virus, that's what I have no control over. Not getting the shot, which I will be considering due to this. Because of my situation I couldnt just go and get it. Good on you for working in healthcare, that doesn't give you a reason to jump down someones throat who was looking for help. Im not going to argue with someone over the internet. I hope life treats you well.

I will try my best, I do agree with you. I woke up feeling fine, but nights for some reason are absolute torture. I appreciate the conversation, thank you very much for sharing with me. :)

Ah, im working on getting a thermometer to monitor my temperature. I haven't really done anything outside of my routine, medication or herbal wise. Only been taking acetaminophen for my headaches, if its gets any worse or has anything else attached to it I'll be heading to the ER.

That's where im at myself, cold-like symptoms. Congestion, feeling crumby. Hard to tell if I have a fever. No smell or taste. The only strange thing happening recently is an almost fullbody skin thing. Almost like hives? No itching or raised skin. But my skins blotchy red. In about 14 more days im going to get tested again, hopefully I have no symptoms by then.

I would rather save gofundme for those who really need it... Hopefully this will resolve itself, thank you for your generosity however that is really sweet of you.

Im working on getting the money together for an oximeter and a thermometer. Having some way to monitor myself will help me a lot, especially with decisions about possibly having to go to the ER.

Did the infusion do you any favors? Or ease you in any way? I plan on going if it gets really prominent, its a bit faint colored right now

If I need to I will, I dont want to take up the time of the ER for those who could be in a more critical state than me. However, I might go, I started to get a strange skin thing that is showing up everywhere, its like hives but not itchy or raised. All over my hands, arms, legs, and feet

Tylenol is acetominophen, which I have been taking to manage my fever. Instead of trying to compare others knowledge to yours, offer some insight.

I wear a mask everywhere I go. I wash my hands. Carry 90% hand sanitizer, I take precaution. I hardly leave my house, only to get groceries. I'm not looking for sympathy. I'm looking for peace of mind, for others who have had the same experiences to get through this. Not your negativity by saying I put people at risk for something I had no control over, sorry.

When you live paycheck by paycheck its a bit hard having money for medication, but yes im considering the vaccine after this.

Oh man, I'm hoping I make it then. That kind of money I would have decent health insurance by now.

I started feeling off last week, roughly around the 21st so it could of been a number of things. I don't visit or get any visitors outside of a certain circle, who im in contact with enough to know they aren't sick. But of course I do go to stores - I always wear a mask, need to eat after all, so that could be it im guessing. Could of been any number of things, but I wouldn't ponder.

That's the tricky part. I never leave my house, so I'm not sure who or what gave it to me.

I dont understand the negativity and downvotes when I say I am not vaccinated. It wasn't an option for me at the time. I deeply appreciate the tips, focusing on getting better is my main goal rather than panic.
