I was just re-researching this and it seems like there may be some controrversy over whether it is nerve damage or just damage to supporting epithelial cells in your nose. It could be both.

This could mean the difference between a few weeks to recover smell or 5 months or more. My guess is that your mild/moderate case did not cause serious nerve damage.
So that 4 to 6 days was the viral phase where the virus is replicating like crazy, then the body starts producing pretty good antibodies. And the viruses start to die off.
At that point,if you have a lot of dead virus in your body you get the “severe covid” because your immune system is just freaking out to all these foreign bodies. That little spike protein seems to be very very nasty even when its dead. That fatigued, out of breath period after the fever was the “severe covid” phase, but luckily you didn’t have too much of the virus left over. Some of the fatigue may be due to heart inflamation apparently.
Heart inflammation? Wow, that all sounds like a pretty fucked up virus. Hope it didn’t do too much damage. I had been taking vitamin D and K2 while eating healthy for over a year before I actually got sick and I’ve been working around the sick since the beginning.
You will probably bounce back pretty quickly unless you are over 65. Its interesting to note though that St. George Floyd was still getting over his covid from a few weeks earlier when he ODed under that cop though.
After my elderly father got the vax (after I told him not to) he complained of increased breathlessness for a month or two. I just think when people dismiss their vaccine symptoms as “no big deal” it is because they don’t understand what it causing them.
