I'm the thread author. 75;year old founder of Geezers Gone Wild?

it is distressing to hear about folks who still cannot taste or smell.

Mine came back. The primary main deal for me has been a merry go round My symptoms keep changing. The only constant, aside from diminished energy, is Tinnitus, which I attribute to a mild Menieres like inner ear inflammation...is change.

Fatigue and brain fog gave way to indigestion and diarrhea, then to insomnia and "emotional volatility." And then to almost but not quite feinting, face-flushing dizzy spells. PVC heart palpitations became Atrial Fibs.

What's next?

Hi @spittendrigh. I'm a long-time longhauler like you. In March, I will hit 4 years.

Also like you, I have had the merry-go-round of symptoms over this time, including losing my autonomic functions (eating, sleeping, breathing). It took me until the 3 year mark to be able to begin taking even the mildest of medications again. (One dr. said, "this is a medication we give to ICU neonates it's so mild, and we'll start you on the lowest of doses". Nope. Had to stop after 2 days.) This change seemed to correlate with inflammatory blood markers returning to normal range (several of mine were really high). So I think it may be a systemic inflammation thing. I can take just about anything again now.

One thing about me I want you to know... I have improved over time, excruciatingly slowly it seemed, with even the worst of symptoms eventually relenting. It was very recently, at the 3 3/4 yr mark, that I seemed to almost miraculously return to quasi normalcy wrt most symptoms, except for my GI symptoms which are still out of control. I'm hoping this is a sign that Long Covid will improve with time. Whether that's time alone, or in combination with the myriad of things I have done/tried, we may never know. Just beyond happy to be here now!! I wish the same for you and everyone on this site.
