My biggest fear just came true
Tuesday I had an ENT appointment for my ear. I took a medical cab as I usually do… long story short, the driver was snoozing and coughing, and got me sick. I didn’t throw my mask in my purse which was my mistake. Yesterday, I woke up with a sore throat, and I noticed my sense of smell and taste were off. I already have parosmia. I’ve had it for about 4 yrs now and it's been the worst 4 yrs of my life. I’ve been sick since getting parosmia and I’ve never had a chance with my smell and taste until now so I’m freaking out. I can’t handle this all over again. I went to Er and they tested me for everything and everything came back negative so they said it was just a viral infection but I’m afraid that can drive just fucked me up. I can’t do it all over again. The insane part about this is on Monday I went to ENT about my parosmia and felt good about the treatment plan just for this to happen. I hate my life.
