    That's also a sign of dementia.
    Is losing your sense of smell an early sign of dementia?
    A weakening sense of smell may take some enjoyment out mealtime, but it also may be an early sign of dementia, according to research. Impaired olfactory function is often linked to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) as well as Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

    Yeah and stroke.

    Of the 3? I think corvid is the leading candidate. It's not a strong illness in me (or I'm just a tough bird.) so I was dismissive of some of the symptoms.

    BTW I did try to get a screening a week ago, they rejected me for a test because I had no direct contact with an infected person. (That I was aware of.) considering I've been out OTR for 2 weeks prior, and another week after who knows who I might have made contact with? So it was a dumb reason to reject me, but I'm sure they didn't have enough kits at the time anyway.
