Hope you recover fully.
Edit: since someone asked for citations, here is a CNN link

I follow the "This week in virology" podcast and they have discussed this extensively as well. Dr Daniel Griffin, cited in the CNN article is a weekly contributor on this podcast, and has mentioned the effect in question multiple times.

- seaman1921 5y agoplease stop with comments starting with 'i've heard that' - there is enough misinformation already. Please. add. citations.
- ysavir 5y agoThey're literally asking for someone to weigh in with first-hand experience on something they heard but are not sure about. It's a valid question that I would also like to hear about. Citations are more relevant for when people are making a claim than for when they are investigating a claim.

- incrudible 5y agoFatigue and rapid heartbeat being cured by a vaccine sounds like psychosomatic long COVID. This is a hot button topic that few professionals will bother examining in a critical fashion. Loss of sense of smell is not psychosomatic. Unfortunately, viral infections can cause sometimes permanent loss.
