- Condition: Long COVID
I hadn’t really connected that to long Covid but it probably is.
In context ↗ - At worst: Severe
And I couldn’t smell or taste or get out of bed.
In context ↗ - Now: Much better
Occasionally I get weird flashes of that feeling. But it’s much milder.

I had this delirium the worst when I was sick with Covid 5 months ago.

Summary
During COVID-19 the person ran fevers for 21 days, was stuck in bed, lost smell and taste and felt delirious, unable to tell if they were awake or asleep or how much time was passing. Five months on, those episodes had become much milder occasional flashes, with brain fog, irritability and losing their train of thought, which they suspected was long COVID.
