It's all in the mind and texture & colour is everything😀

Yeah I hear ya!

Good luck to you both.
Would be good to now your progress in getting better especially as you have had two jabs.
How you are feeling over what time frame and especially how long it takes for you to get back to full health etc.  
We are currently experiencing an ongoing lock down here in Auckland with very little news of what to expect when the country opens up from hibernation and delta spreads to vaccinated people who catch it.  
Take care

Cheers Robinz I will keep you updated as I assume Batch will do the same.
Just for the record Ive just turned 58, reasonably fit and have not had any symptoms in the 18+ months the virus has been around here in the U.K.

48 here . double stabbed.

initially sniffle, headache, very very slight wheeze. nothing unusual for me this time of year as I have mild asthma. very occasionally tickle/cough.

later, congestion around sinus, fuzzy head, slightly tired (bed at 10:30 is well early for me). disrupted sleep

now. better sleep. headache/fuzz  subsiding, less tired, cough/wheeze nearly gone. taste/smell went yesterday. back hurts round back of lung area when I do cough (like muscular ache)

all over 4 or 5 days

will be interesting to see how long taste takes to return. I'm trying to lose weight so it's an advantage for now!

[Jimmy HaveHave]

Interesting you mention the sinus inflammation as I also have that quite bad and it dosen't normally get a mention.
Do you work from home as I don't so will have another ten days staying at home.

[Batch]

I do work from home

[Jimmy HaveHave]

I'm guessing you've carried on working then if a little less productive😀

[Batch]

yes. I exceeded expectations by being even less productive than normal..

Bloody hell on that diagnosis I have had the 'rona for about the last 15 years!

OMG. You know "plastic cheese", the cheap pre-packaged stuff you put on burgers.

Don't try this with no sense of taste. Its ugggggh.

[Jimmy HaveHave]

How many days we got no taste for😡

unknown.

should be "within 12 weeks" for cough/taste

In most cases, the loss of smell and taste due to COVID-19 is temporary.

The researchers behind a multicenter studyTrusted Source found that at 2 months, 75–80% of people had regained their taste and smell, with 95% having regained these senses at 6 months. They further noted that people who lost their taste and smell also experienced milder COVID-19 symptoms.

In rarerTrusted Source cases, people may require ongoing treatment and monitoring of their taste and smell.
