Yes they do. I said if.
Hadn't. She's so mild. Wife, son and I asymptomatic.Kool said:Glad she's mildly affected, hopefully she's over the hump. Hoping you and Mrs. Aurelius don't get it. You considering steroids for the anosmia? Not evidence based medicine but.....Marcus Aurelius said:
Mild. Afebrile now. Lost of taste and smell. Tired. No respiratory symptoms. Bored more than anything. Day #8. 2 More days of quarantine if she has no symptoms.
I've heard loss of taste/smell can linger for several weeks. So how does that play into quarantining?
Great ? I have not treated many outpts. May be a Rev ?
I started feeling sick July 16, and had 2 bad days.
The 18th I started feeling better, and just had mainly nasal congestion.
By the 23rd I was feeling fine.
Then around the 28th when I was feeling fine and had no other symptoms, my sense of smell went completely away, and was 100% gone for about 3 weeks. I had no other symptoms and was feeling great, just couldn't smell anything.
My wife's symptoms pretty much went the same as mine, just a few days later. She also lost taste.
We both tested positive for antibodies August 30th.
Today my sense of smell is about 50% of what it was in early July. Hers is also slowly returning.
Just fyi, but I'm still having partial loss of smell nearly 2 months out.

There isn't really any reason to tie the return of sense of smell to your level of active viral shedding and thus quarantining recommendations. As with many cases of viral-induced anosmia, the sense of smell can take months and months to return , long after active infection has cleared. We are too early in the game to have good data as to what percentage of people will have partial or complete recovery, but it is definitely being looked at.lazuras_dc said:

Yes that's my understanding, so my question is if work, team or school says quarantine until symptoms are gone 2-3 days before returning. How does this play into it? Or are they mainly meaning cough/fever subsides then 2-3 days, then returnKool said:There isn't really any reason to tie the return of sense of smell to your level of active viral shedding and thus quarantining recommendations.

They shouldn't apply it to anosmia. If they did, they might have people who NEVER came back to work/school.lazuras_dc said:Yes that's my understanding, so my question is if work, team or school says quarantine until symptoms are gone 2-3 days before returning.

This is much clearer version of what I asking.
If her anosmia and ageusia persist beyond quarantine I will get her retested.

What were your two bad days like?
Although there are cases where the anosmia lasts for weeks or months, it seems as though most cases it last for a few days. My girlfriend had two days of typical COVID symptoms followed by two days of feeling better and then the anosmia hit. It lasted for two days and she was back to full function. I'd recommend crunchy foods. She seemed to enjoy meals better. We take our taste for granted and it seemed to be depressing for her not to be able to taste her meals. A good crunch kept her upbeat about the lack of taste. The first thing she tasted was the ranch dip that came with her carrots.

Headache, cough, sore throat, runs, general laziness.

FYI I had a similar scare like this a month ago. After seeing multiple Covid positive patients, I had a low grade fever. So I worked from home to keep clinic going and patients safe.
Patients came to office, nurses logged them in on zoom and I saw them from my home office. I did this for 5 days until my test came back negative.
It is an option to consider to keep some revenue coming in just in case. It actually worked better than I thought it would. Since patient is in office you have vitals, can get EKG, spirometry, CXR etc. Most patients actually were very understanding and appreciated that I was isolating to protect them.
We know have a protocol just in case I get infected it have to isolate. Hopefully this helps.

Good planning on your part.
How do normal zoom doctors appointments work with regards to collecting vitals?

Not that I know. My wife and I believe the kids are symptomatic and the parents aren't getting kids tested nor notifying the school RN. Just quarantined and e schooling. Our community has been weird about this. I can assure I am not "intentionally" avoiding questions nor against having football with fans.
Wife who tested positive lost taste and smell about on day 3 after the test. Came back for her about 2 days later and according to her was 100% by the end of quarantine.
I caught that my taste and smell were gone when she told me she was positive. Partially came back a couple of weeks later, I am probably at 80%, with mornings being noticeably better than evenings, for whatever crazy reason.
Neither wife nor I had any other symptoms. Daughter never had a symptom and we used her as the bellwether for cooking and seasoning during the isolation.
2 confirmed positives I work with never lost the senses, but did have typical symptoms if a strong cold.

No call to attack the doctor like this.aggiebrad94 said:
Are you intentionally ignoring the question I have asked twice now?
You created a post and blamed a football game.
Are there any other cases among those who attended the game?
Quit dodging the question!

What a dick
For the people who have lost taste and smell, is it a different feeling than when you lose taste and/or smell with a cold?

Absolutely. It was not related to congestion. It was not reduced sense of smell, or harder to smell things.
I was breathing clearly, and it was 100% gone.
I work in agriculture around feed lots and hog barns. The day I noticed it I was between 15 hog barns with 1000 pigs in each, standing next to a retention pond filled with millions of gallons of pig crap, and couldn't detect the slightest hint of unpleasantness.
And at that moment you know you have COVID. Only worse smell may be a chicken coop/processing factorySunrayAg said:Counterpoint said:

Very different, you are feeling great otherwise, but no sense of smell. It is very weird. It also comes back very gradually, for me it was about 6 weeks.
Following thread, son got sent home from Junior College Football practice and school. He had trouble doing wind sprints at end of practice. Said he was fine all of practice before that. He was a little short of breath. Trainer asked a couple of questions and realized he lost sense of smell after a few tests. They sent him to get tested and it came back positive. I'm not sure what test he had but they told him in like 30 minutes or so. We have him isolated in bedroom and bathroom by bedroom for now. Says he feels fine, and some taste and smell coming back. He was told to quarantine for 10 days. Must take test and pass before coming back to school / football.
Now every time one of us sneezing wondering if we have it. Might get tested, might not. I figure to just stay home as well and get tested if I have any symptoms.

Day 10. Afebrile. Feels fine. Coming out of quarantine. Sitting outside. Still no taste smell.
We know you guys must be sick of it. I can't imagine what the last 6 months must have been like. Just know most of us really appreciate your active participation in this forum. I know I do.
