second time being infected with Covid now

trust my luck to get this a second time.
First time was pretty cool. Got a week off work and sat around doing nothing except video games, reading and drinking while barely feeling anything different.

The second time now has hit me like a damn truck.
But still, was thinking another week off work sounds great and so on except I have lost my damn sense of taste. food and drinks taste like nothing.
By far the most annoying thing when it comes to having covid from my experience. I can deal with feeling like absolute shit and being in pain but not being able to taste anything really ruins my plans for this week

anyway happy Tyr's day

You mean your second time is worse? I was exposed to someone whose kids have covid rn and I'm really hoping I don't get it. It was very mild when I had it but I do not want to be self-isolating again.

It sounds like you may have the delta variant, if you can't smell or taste anything.

@SW-User yeah the first time was nothing. Did not feel sick at all. Only found out since for my job you need to have a weekly test.
The second time now has been rough. Started with a headache and just escalated from there. I can smell, I just cant taste anything.

Hopefully you're all good. My son was with me for a few days straight and he doesnt have it now, so I imagine you are good

@Torsten Thx :) It wouldn't surprise me though.

The first day was quite rough for me but then on day 2 I felt almost normal, which was weird. I had a mild fever on/off and a slight cough but it was alright beyond that.

Hope you'll do ok with this...it sucks to get it again this soon!

@SW-User I guess you never really know.

oh so you have had it before or you talking bout lately after being around that kid?

thanks and it does for sure. If I get me sense of taste back though I will be great haha

@Torsten Yeah I had it for the first time in early May. I'm not vaccinated.

Apparently that loss of taste can last for ages...hopefully it won't for you

@SW-User glad there was only one day in that case that was rough on you and you were almost back to normal the next day.
I am on my second day and just getting worse but yeah hopefully it wont take long for taste to come back thanks
