Ugh. My dh has new anxiety/panic after covid. He literally never had any anxiety history until he was sick with covid. I lost my taste and smell for 3 weeks. They came back, but I experience a phantom smell of sewage and burning rubber, intermittently. It has been 2 months since we were sick. I'm not thinking of it as "long covid", but, it's not nothing, ya know?[/quote]

Well, yeah, it's not nothing. I get crippling migraines and in the last year they've gone from happening 4-5x a year to happening twice a month. My medication doesn't work well anymore and we're struggling to figure out what to do. It might be due to pandemic-related stress, or hormone changes, or something else. Or some combination thereof.

Why am I telling you this? Because while I'm sorry your DH has to deal with anxiety (I've had anxiety before too, it's hard) and the taste/smell thing sounds like a bummer, you are not describing a health crisis here. Lots of people deal with health issues, and honestly anxiety and panic attacks, and relatively brief olfactory malfunction (sorry but a few weeks is just... so minor) are not serious. How old are you? By your 50s you will long for the days when your biggest issue was that you lost your sense of smell for a little while.[/quote]
