Does anyone else feel like they have this the more they hear about it?
I had COVID back in April, I wasn’t too badly ill just felt like I had the flu with a nasty cough and was completely devoid of energy with a fever, in fact, my toddler had it worse than I did (and they say kids can’t get it ...!). I’ve now had no taste of smell for around 8 months, I can only smell a sweet fishy scent for everything (literally everything). It’s so frustrating. This has now come to light as something called “parosmia”, which is now a recognised symptom of “long Covid”.
Since April I’ve been totally lacking any energy whatsoever, my chest feels continuously heavy and almost wheezy but not crazily so. I have continuous headaches, some days I could literally sleep all day if I could. The brain fog is unreal. This is all alongside this lack of taste and smell for months.
Does anyone have it or have similar symptoms since having COVID? Have you been to see a GP? Im worried that if I call up my GP they’ll consider me a time waster or fob me off but I’m genuinely concerned I have walking pneumonia or something.
