You may have had Covid a long time ago. They are now finding that the antibodies are lasting a long time. People who got Covid a year ago still have viable antibodies. The antibodies might actually prove to be better protection against Covid in the long run; they are currently better at protection than the vaccine; 99.8% effective versus 96% effective.
Be careful where you get your information, I have a great doctor. If you are getting bad advice from your HCP, such as, "the antibodies are only good for 90 days", they are either terribly ignorant and not up to speed on the latest science, or they just want to make some money off of giving you a vaccination shot.

Day 13 and still not back to normal. After going a couple days with no fever and feeling a little better I started running a fever and became real achy again Thursday and yesterday. Still can't smell much and my taste is really distorted so makes it hard to eat. I slept 12 hours last night which is 3x what I usually do

Day 29...I am able to workout and get my 2 miles in without headaches now. Still have NO smell and very distorted taste. When it first started everything tasted salty, but could taste sweet. I can still taste sweet, but now no matter how much salt I put on something, I can’t taste it.

Some scientists are saying as the virus mutates into different variants it could knock out other senses like sight and hearing.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Mine was a semi bad sinus infection. The covid induced pneumonia wasn’t that bad as long as I didn’t exert myself. The headaches were the worst of it.

Sure wished some of you that still can't taste or smell would try this method in the link below.
My brother swears by it.
Ya ain't out anything to try it.

If anyone tries this please report back.

I used to have superpowers… but a therapist took them away.

Boco I wouldn't be surprised if it does, I have a bad knee that I need to get operated on but been putting it off for awhile. Ever since I got covid my knee has been killing me, worse than it's ever hurt. So it definitely attacks the weaker parts of your body. This crap is no joke

I never got tested but had flu like symptoms Jan. 7 to Jan. 11, lost my sense of smell and taste just shortly after I started feeling better which was around the Jan 11 and I am just barely staring to be able to taste and smell again. So about a month and a half for me but I’d say it’s still only at less than 50%
