Yeah, i had it once, right before Christmas last year
felt really tired and achy for 3 days, but the first of the days way way more achy , where I couldn’t get comfortable, couldnt wath tv or listen to music
that led to me losing taste and smell for a few weeks
poor timing with the holidays and things we only have once a year, and I couldn’t tast anything
i’ve had upper respiratory symptoms twice since Covid, tested negative for one, in March or April. Since then my senses of taste and smell aren’t the same, and some stuff tastes and smells really bad
the other upper respiratory symptoms were back in February 2020 as it was just spreading in Seattle, I was there for conference with a few thousand people
it was before testing or anything was known about it. I felt knocked out for 2 days and then drove about 8 hours to jay peak by myself to meet up with a bunch of friends
they weren’t so sure they wanted me there, but they didn’t tell me not to go
i told them it’s not Covid because I can take a deep breathe and hold it for a while. i have no idea where I got that one from
one of the guys that was with us developed a brain infection a couple of months later, and died a few months after that. I’ll always wonder if it couldve been related to something I spread.
the thought of being cavalier about it and then killing a friend I’d been friends for for almost 40 years makes me very sad
