I had COVID in June. Now. 6 months later I am suffering from a very strange side effect. I've developed an internal itch that I feel around my kidneys, heart, abdomen and even down my legs. I'm able to work but my energy levels are 75% on a good day. I'm 71 years old and before the illness ran 12 miles weekly. I think this is an autoimmune reaction by my body attacking the Ace2 receptor areas in my body. Oddly I never had any pulmonary symptoms. I'm taking quercetin, egcg, zinc, vit.D3, zinc and vitamin e along with glutathione and CoQ10. Also Chinese herbs for my kidneys.

Lyme may never go away and this virus may never totally go away in the body/brain.

There may be some lingering symptoms that are a result of side effects from treatments, but the loss of sense of smell and taste is likely not one of them. I lost my sense of smell for a week during my bout (relatively mild) with COVID. I have two friends who have lost their sense of smell and taste for longer periods. None of us were actually "treated" for COVID, but recovered naturally. I used quercetin, vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc to shorten the course of the illness, and that may have helped me recover my sense of smell quickly.

This brings me to a slightly different topic. I think that we are handling cases of COVID among the population over 65 (of which I am one) completely wrong. In this group, ANY positive diagnosis should be followed with treatment such as hydroxychlorquine or other inexpensive and effective treatments, under the supervision of a doctor, but not in a hospital setting. Right now you're just told to self-isolate and then come to the hospital if you have severe symptoms and most of the treatments don't work. Makes no sense at all to me. This week I have a friend (over 70 with chronic cough) who could have been treated for a week before he ended up in the hospital on oxygen.

Everyone needs to constantly remind themselves of a repeated comment made by Dr. Paul Marik, Professor of medicine at East Virginia Medical School, EVMS, at the time of his first video interview about his successful discovery of a cure for sepsis using intravenous vitamin C, Hydrocortisone and Thiamine, vitamin B1 . . . "no side effects . . . no side effects". What we are now seeing is the long term result of the complete suppression of effective treatments; which, as I see it; should be seen as a crime against humanity.
