Corona Virus post symptoms

Posted , 3 users are following.

HI, I had Corona in November and lost smell but in late February I could smell a horrible smell where ever I went and everything tastes the same as this smell. I would say it smells a bit like cooked chicken thighs.

I have come to the conclusion its my brain substituting this smell / taste instead of what the smells and tastes should be. When I go into another room my brain thinks there should be a new smell here so I get a big smell of the chicken thighs and every time I eat its the same smell and taste.

Has anyone else had this symptom. I'm only guessing its from Corona.

Any in site into this would be appreciated.

Thx.

    hi! I came on here to look for something similar to what I am experiencing, and this is the closest thing to it that i have found. unfortunately, Im not a doctor and I also am not sure exactly why its happening. but I can say I am having this same thing happen to me. i heard alot of people talk about a "gasoline" or "bleach" consistant smell but this was way different. im not sure I would discribe mine as chicken thighs but honestly thats pretty close. I had convid back in Feb and my smell and taste came back mostly all the way after about 2 months. and then 3 weeks ago the awful smell and taste came in. now i cant even eat eggs or alot of meats because those are the worst. but honestly everything has it. I hope it just takes time, but honestly its a big big bummer. I hope yours subsides and please update me on how it goes!
