Summary

Ridge 65639 caught COVID in February 2023; taste and smell came back slowly and were back to about 85% by November 2023, while brain fog and an altered sense of smell lasted six to nine months. A second COVID infection in July 2024 left smell intact but brain fog returned a few weeks later.
