Thank God for the courage of the op, and the honesty of various commenters so far.
Mine started with serious body ache. High fever for two days and I went to the hospital without delay. Doctor treated Malaria. This was last week Tuesday and PH was on lockdown. By Friday i had totally lost sense of smell, but can taste sweetness and bitterness. I was so scared. The fever subsided but the body ache remained. I was so weak that i could hardly climb staircase. On a normal day I do 10k plus steps every two days while excercising.
I could not believe this is happening to me. I already have bp problems and also on sugar medication. Scared shit.
I called NCDC but no response. By Sunday the loss of smell persisted. I cannot perceive my perfume, soap, smoke, anything. My husband tried to assure me its not covid but deep within me I knew I have got it. I was scared for my children and family. How do i really isolate when i still dish out food and they always come in to talk to me. By Sunday I called earlier and was told to come to elekahia stadium for test. I went there in the afternoon but was told by security that they were not around.
I went back to see my doctor and he simply told me to add home remedies. Crush ginger and garlic together, add to boiling water, and inhale the fumes while covered with a towel.
I added dogonyaro leaves. This became my medication since then. I just got better. Taste and smell started returning yesterday. Its not like anything i have ever experienced all my life.
My niece also developed symptoms on monday and was taking the same treatment. She is ok now.
Guys, covid 19 is real. God is just merciful to us here in Nigeria. I thank God for the opportunity to share this experience. I am still isolating from the aged and vulnerable.

From some comments here, It seems NCDC is not even ready to attend to people.

I'm currently on this. had a feeling of coagulated saliva in my throat that caused shortness of breath which caused the lack of supply of air to the lung. there was contraction which caused ache in my chest area and other body joint.

drank hot water constantly took malaria pills to clear all that.
what is left is the loss of smell and taste.

I don't know what this whole thing is. But I lost my sense of smell two weeks ago. This the first time I would experience such without having a catarrh
3 weeks ago, I had severe night fever, headaches dizziness, so I began antimalarial med after the test showed 2 plus malaria. I took Amatem soft gel. Since then, I have lost my sense of smell. It was so bad that i dont perceive my Arabian oil perfume that have a strong smell. The house was fumigated in high concentration. I didn't know, went inside only to be told the house was fumigated.
Its just 2 days ago I gradually perceive but the smell is not so sharp

Its possible someone must have blown things into the air to cause this or its covid and we have been treating it without knowing

Egypt 135,000+
Nigeria 58,000+

Preliminary reports indicate that only countries who executed aggressive testing have succeeded in flattening their curves and containing the pandemic with reserve strength to handle subsequent breakouts. Germany, South Korea etc got it right from the very onset. Outside genuine cure and acceptable vaccine, there are no short cuts.

This is what it could be. So can our government should stop politicizing the situation and stop stealing money under the guise of covid 19. This is a global pandemic and many countries have opened up activities, moved on whilst putting measures to prevent its spread. To me, Covid SARS is like a flu. Just like an ordinary flu, people can heal on their own. However isolation and medication can be administered.
It is also possible that the virus may have strain just like the strain of malaria that kills easily. A vaccine is what the world needs

Almost everyone in my family and church have lost their sense of smell and taste and recovered recently....which is a symptom of corona virus.

Are we all infected and recovering on our own?
after all there is a 98% recovery rate.

You ALL definitely had the virus.

They are overwhelmed. No way they can attend to everyone. Abroad, if you have just mild symptoms (i.e.,do not have breathing problems), you are asked to treat yourself at home.

If you feel/believe you, your family, and other people you know are infected with Covid19, whether you're recovering on your own or not, please isolate for the required number of days.

There are cases where people recover but still able to infect others because of the long incubation period of the virus.

Btw, I believe there are other things other than Covid that can cause collective loss of smell but if you cant test, then isolate as much as possible.

Cattarh can cause loss of sense of smell

ginger garlic and lime, blend, boil, inhale and drink.
also use inhalers (Vicks or Robb inhaler)
lastly take "contact" or "artifeect" from the chemist.

To the whites it's deadly. God has prepared us for days like this, our constant battle with mosquitoes is a blessing now. Our parents and us have quinine in our systems and also the bcg innoculation as kids is a blessing now

My aunt had recovered. This was what i did for her:

I gave her Ginger, Garlic, and Vitamin C.

Eat ginger/garlic or drink it that's if you wanna blend it. For blending, make sure you boil it and inhale, after like 3mins, you can now start drinking. After 4 hours, Vitamin C should be the next.

Before 72 hours, you don recover sharply.


Eating ginger and Garlic raw would be faster even without vitamin C, but hell, some people hate the scent. If you did that today, you would have regained your taste by this time tomorrow.



OR



A friend of mine used "Procold" all those are internal flu.

Just go with the first option.

Oh my .my husband is experiencing no taste and smell thing after having some malaria and flu like symptoms. I had full body muscles and joint pain. We have treated malaria. Got better but hubby still has not gotten his taste and smell buds back. My mum and my sister elsewhere in lagos just recovered from the same symptoms. A friend called to complain her sister is experiencing same.
These are not coincidences, something is in the air. Stay prayerful and strong.
