Sign of the times

Has anyone else felt different since having covid? I am vaccinated etc, I have had it (it wasn’t pleasant) but since having it I have had weird side affects apart from the usual symptomatic stuff.

1. I hate the taste and smell of meat. I really struggle to eat it.
2. My concentration span is lower. That might just be ageing but it seems palpable.
3. I have very little patience (could be related to 2).

Anyway, I am not wanting this to a vax discussion, just seeing if anyone has experienced anything similar?

Since my partner had covid she's had blisters appear on her back. The doctors did say it was a long term effect from covid.

Ive felt weird lately. But I didn't have covid. I think its just adjusting bsck to normality if honest. But ill get there.

maybe you had it. The guy who works for me got sick a week after me and had the same symptoms but never tested positive. I am convinced some people are immune from the tests but not the virus [@Gangs-tress]

@Raymuundo im thinking the same if honestm i probably did have it but displayed no symptons. My immune system is pretty strong.

I hope you feel better soon buddy x

I have had it and I don’t have it anymore. It’s just more the lingering effects of it. @Gangstress

@Raymuundo yeh long covid sucks

I am not sure it’s long covid either. I actually went for a run yesterday and stayed out quite late drinking at a work function last night so I am think I am back to normal but I can’t eat meat still and the concentration is really bad. @Gangstress

@Raymuundo could it be something else perhaps? Its weird youve gone off meat. But i get like that sometimes. I just cant go near it

It might well be but it also doesn’t seem like a coincidence. I lost taste and smell and when it reappeared my appetite suddenly changed. I am honestly lot complaining as I have been eating vegetables and not much else. @Gangstress

@Raymuundo at least youre eating healthy on a plus side lol

I was pretty healthy most the time anyway but I would typically cook a steak on a Saturday or Sunday and I’d look forward to that. Now i just don’t want to entertain the thought. @Gangstress
