Have you any? I was fortunate and haven’t caught it, not that I know of anyway. I had a co-worker who caught it early on. He had a very hard time getting his energy back. He got very forgetful and got nasty grumpy. It got to the point I had to run him off. Now I hear stories of others with brain fog. I have a brother in Colorado that went to the DR. Due to brain fog. The doc told him it’s very common and told him he nearly had to shut down his practice due to his own problems with it. I really don’t feel like my wife has recovered and it was well over a year ago she had it. Just wondering what others might be seeing? |

Thad, My wife had covid in Jan. 2021 and was in bed for a month. Still has low energy and can't tolerate some cooking odors, especially meat and vegetables. On the other hand, I like you, have never had covid, that I know of. Don't know how I missed out since I took care of my wife all that time. Sure is a terrible thing they unleashed on us. Hope everyone recovers soon.

| Daughter is JUST NOW beginning to get her sense of smell back, a year plus since I spread it around the family including her. Her doctor says she doesn't know of anyone else that took that long to get it back. Minor complication in the scheme of things, but just sayin'. |

My grand daughter still hasn't got her sense of smell back and taste is off too. It's been more than a year since she had Covid. Pastor friend's wife got Covid when she was pregnant, just a few weeks before her delivery date. Baby is OK but she has never recovered properly. Still very tired, no appetite, losing wait, not much energy. Poor girl has 4 little kids from 6 mos to 7 years. She is being cared for by a doctor who is part of a team that is doing a study on the after effects of Covid. Apparently there are a lot of people suffering with this. My daughter and her friends are helping this young lady and her family as much as possible.

Well, as Dan said, I cannot be sure if it is COVID, or old age, but I have no energy at all, physically weak, and the lack of concentration, forgetfulness, etc. One of the strangest things, and I have not heard this from anyone else, my taste and smell did eventually come back, but the smell is goofy. I sometimes smell things that are not there to smell! For several days, a couple of weeks ago, I kept smelling burning plastics, I just about tore the house apart, was sure it was on fire! It finally faded away, and house is still standing. What I do know is my blood O2 levels were dangerously low for an extended period of time, so heart issues and brain issues would not be unbelievable, according to Doc. ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27 |

Apparently about 30% of Covid People have "long term effects".. one study said that in 10% of the cases it will NEVER go away. Mayo CLinic These people sometimes describe themselves as "long haulers" and the conditions have been called post-COVID-19 syndrome or "long COVID-19." These health issues are sometimes called post-COVID-19 conditions. They're generally considered to be effects of COVID-19 that persist for more than four weeks after you've been diagnosed with the COVID-19 virus. Older people and people with many serious medical conditions are the most likely to experience lingering COVID-19 symptoms, but even young, otherwise healthy people can feel unwell for weeks to months after infection. Common signs and symptoms that linger over time include:

Neice has taste and smell as a option these days, one day fine next few maybe Nothing maybe just a little then yet again switches back and forth. She does still have Brain Fog, loses memories then weeks later they come back only to disappear again, she is late thirties. I have od taste issues, some things taste normal, then what I KNOW what tastes like either has little taste or a Odd taste, as Hot Peppers, or Horse Radish, chicken will at times be absolutely Flavorless then others it is fine, can be leftovers and have both sensations over time from Same Meat. I am having serious issues with names now, people I am in contact with DAILY, work with them and one day name is right there, next I know I know it but just no name.

Well,,I would tell Ya'll when I had covid,,,if I could only remember,,,!! Ain't that the chits,,,?? I never lost my sense of smell or taste. I was very fortunate in being able to take The Monoclonal Antibodies and Ivermectin the very next day after diagosed with covid and I'm telling you, The RN that administered the infusion Of the MA told me "You are gonna feel MUCH BETTER by tamorraw and feel like before covid in 3-4 days after,,,,!! SOoooo my memories of the covid are sorta short,,altho my heart STILL hurts for all the people that suffered greatly and some good friends that did not make it past covid. I hope that those that caused this world wide calamity will one day pay for their sins,,,,,, The worst aftereffects I have are the dizzyness thru out the day, altho they do seem to be coming less and less with time,,,? I have got to where I run out of gas long bout noon to 2 Pm and have to go in and lay down for bout 2 hours,,,no biggie but prior to covid I was up at bout 8Am and go til almost dark,,,,dang sure cannot do that anymore,,,,,

Fellows, I had it in October. Still can't smell much. I'm trying CBD gummies to help with brain function and tintinits. Guys the CBD ain't working. Been taking it a week. The only thing I can remember is needing to go to the bathroom and getting hungry. Was in town today, I had an order for the grocery store, drove buy it twice and when I got home I remembered their order was in the back. I spent 8 hours today looking for a new 24" electric range for mom. I can't find one in this part of the state. People checked in Minneapolis, Omaha, Chicago, and KC. Maybe I'll remember tomorrow to look more.

| Niece admits she has real memory issues, she is now in a testing program at a medical center in Cape that is studying the long term and near term issues with COVID recoveries. What has been touched upon and determined is the Virus accesses the brain either thru the olfactory nerves or the blood stream and/or both in many cases where it affected brain cells. They have made brain scans with brain cell activity mapping that shows decreased values in a few patients, brains in a number of older(OVER 55) patients were noted as to faster shrinkage rates than as typically seen with aging issues. My niece her hubs and her in-laws are all a part of the program, the oldest daughter(8) was entered in yet showed no signs of brain disfunction so will be tested at later stages of development if she accepts that. |

| CBD has not ANY medical way to fix brain fog!!!! The most it can do is make you high. The reason you have brain fog is there are tiny vessels that allow blood to enter and exit the brain. Bacteria, viral and other pathogens attack/ block the flow of blood to brain at entrances to vessels. The results are narcotic loss of tissue that will not regenerate leading to Dementia. This all happens at a microscopic level. Hence will never be discovered with MRI. Have to observe thru Micoscopey. (Ref. Dr. Alan McDonald, Dr. Eva Sapi.). I had increasing brain fog with Several tickborne diseases. Had at length discussion with my Lyme specialist.

Lou, I never lost my sense of taste and smell but it is now altered at times. I may have had Covid early in 2020 before it became popular but had no after effects until I got the two Moderna shots and then my energy went downhill. I tested positive for Covid just after Christmas this past year and it was about like a mild case of the flu but I am still trying to get completely over it. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

| My wife and I had it in Jan 2022 not that sick but very drained of energy to do much of anything. My sense of smell never left , but hers did. Until I commented on this topic I did not know hers is still off. She has made comments about being able to smell different things, so I did not know at times she still has trouble smelling things. |

My youngest had it last Christmas and I stayed home to watch her (her symptom's lasted <16hrs) I went to the hospital for an blood draw anti-body test 3 weeks later and was positive with 0 symptoms 0 effects.

Enduring a recent found Covid Leftover, Allergies I never had in Spades. Mold numbers go up I hack as if smoking in a forest fire or wood smoker, Pollen rises and I am overwhelmed with Snot drainage with heavier hacking, Doc is considering a shot to decrease sensitivity but is also considering WHY prior to doing that, have had MINOR allergy reactions, but not to this level and the Doc is fairly certain my cause is Covid.. I could end up stuck INSIDE in Air Conditioning to limit the symptoms unable to work exterior projects.

I’m revisiting this as I’m now recovering myself. So weeks ago I started feeling bad at work. I sat in my truck to eat lunch. My back was killing me and I was freezing. I laid over in the seat and fell asleep. The rest of the day was rough. I was working alone fortunately because Thursday was even worse. Thursday night after work I went to bed at 5:00 pm and slept til morning. I was under a pile of blankets and wife out of town fortunately. On Friday I was having some kidney problems and blood in urine. Jenny said I needed to go to the dr. They did blood test and checkup. Kidneys and liver function were fine. They then recommended a Covid test. I tested positive. I was kept from work Monday and Tuesday. I was required a mask around people until the 18th. I’m now mask free. I still cough up flim on occasion but other than that no symptoms except very tired and very easily winded. I never lost taste or smell that I know of. |

Your current symptoms are what I went through at its peak when I had it. Lost taste and smell for several weeks. Affects people differently for sure. After 8 months canteloupe and Mountain Dew don't taste the same. Step son and his wife have it for a second time and they have been vaxed Hope you get to feeling better soon |

Had bad flu a couple times the past year and half, very unusual for me. Had the classic ‘convid’ symptoms of splitting headache, no appetite, zero energy, sleep for two days straight. Taking extra vitamins and minerals helped recovery. Never lost sense of smell or taste tho. No jab of any kind. Will not do it. Too many predictions of significantly shortened life spans for jab recipients. Besides that, life insurance companies are beginning to refuse pay out if customer got jabbed? Anybody else been hearing/reading about that? ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

What would they base that on ?? Son knows a few people that had COVID a year ago...Now have heart problems, diabetes, or other..... Doctors say that COVID did not CAUSE they disease, but they had some PRE EXISTING CONDITIONS that many did not know, and the COVID brought that to the SURFACE due to changed IMMUNE system..

| After two doses I got the crap, Doc now states no need for boosters as are 60% LESS effective than getting the bug. Jury is still out by pediatricians and GPs as to inoculating (is NOT a Vaccine just named as one). Children have far fewer after effects of the virus having few symptoms and nothing as to debilitating symptoms in more than 1% of children testing positive. |

Well Shoot, Thad,,I'm hopin and praying for you to get lots better and soon too,,!! Pay attention to what Ms Jenn tells you,,,you hear,,!! Well. I got the dang covid last fall and there was NO DOUBT I had it as it really knocked my d***in the dirt,,, My Son had to take me to the ER at 1 Am. I had been taking the Flu vaccine for many years because Company I worked for insisted on it, and I had taken the J&J on recommend of my Brother, an MD in Milwaukee. When the ER Doctor came into room, I told him I wanted the Monoclonal Antibodies along with an RX for Ivermectin. He studied me for bout 5mins and I told him if they did not have the M.A. then I would go elsewhere to get them . He stared at me for another 3 mins and left the room! Nurse came back and told me to come back in the Am and they would administer the Monoclonal Antibody infusion. At that time, NM was not allowing the Ivermectin so,,I got em elsewhere,,,,, You cannot believe how quick that regimen worked as I was back to old self in 3 days!!I had also been taking some vitamins my brother had recommended ,,which I'm sure also helped. I never lost my sense of smell or taste but my post issues are Running out of gas by 11Am and those DANG dizzy spells, which I NEVER used to get,!! I think it is just TERRIBLE that there are so Many special interest groups thaat cloud the real facts to where a person does not know WHAT to believe,,,,and I also believe that we will prolly not ever know the whole truth about the thing,,,,,,,

I too got the monoclonal antibodies, I think 3 days after I got sick. I immediately quit going "downhill", and about 3 more days and I was feeling almost back to normal. At that time, the protocol was I had to stay out of work for a while yet. Went to the farm and worked on stuff. Kept my distance from my elderly parents to be safe. Other than not quite having stamina and enough wind, I got a lot of stuff worked on around the farm for that time of year (first week of April). No ivermectin for me, but not against it. It's so hard because there's so much conflicting information. Knowledgeable trusted very smart people, it you know 3 people like that, you're going to hear 2 sides. Case in point, Joe's brother said take the J&J shot, my wife a CCU nurse who's been caring for Covid patients since the outset said to stay away from J&J because of the blood clot issue. Add to that every Tom Dick and Harry with their BASELESS or HEAVILY FILTERED BIASED opinions, and you'll drive yourself crazy. People so dang set on arguing and having to be right, if you say one little thing contrary to their opinion, rather than think for a minute if your point has any merit, they blast you, even though you may agree on more than you disagree. People can't have levels of mixed belief, gotta be all or nothing it seems. I hate that.

Trying to rationalize currently Covid that had been COMPLETELY missing from our little hamlet along with other small towns here is making itself known again. People are not Sick, not going to Hospital, just on some decision by employers are being Screened again. LARGE Number of Positive Tests coming out, yet those tested had ZERO Symptoms or Negligible Symptoms as the Allergy Season is on here. Tests kits have been questioned as are directed to Home Quarantine at least four days before return to work. Masks are AGAIN Required for at least a week beyond that. Beginning to sense a Dirty Diaper is leaking.

It seems to affect everyone differently. A "work friend" and her boyfriend, both in their mid 50's and very active, had COVID early on (before any vaccine approval). She was very sick, but in about a month, she was back to about 90% of her former health. He, on the other hand, still has major health issues (severe shortness of breath, lack of strength and stamina, very depressed immune system) over two years later. Another "work friend", again a mid 50's male and a very strong antivaxxer, who was very healthy, lost his battle with COVID after battling it for about 6 weeks. I know other people that have had COVID, some vaccinated and some not, that have had COVID with no lingering problems. I'm sure there are some, but I personally don't know anyone that had an up to date vaccination, that passed away from COVID.
