I frequently smell what is like a gas/coolant smell. I don't know if that makes sense. I don't know how else to describe it. I'm asthmatic, and last summer during a flare, I was convinced it was my window-unit air conditioner putting off chemicals, causing the exacerbation. I got rid of the air conditioner and still smell that smell a lot. I think I got rid of a perfectly good new air conditioner for nothing.

I still smell a burning smell, like paper. Negative Covid results on Jan 5 and still smell burnt paper. Also very dizzy and tired.
Update - no burning smell for the last 32 weeks, yea!!!!

Yes it is, This is the most oddest thing I have ever experienced. I'm only 47, never had health issues, non smoker exc. I am thinking I have long covid now. I see a GI surgeon Feb 8th for my frequent bowel movement that is taking over half my day. 6-10 soild not dirrara. I know a lil tmi but its so good that I don't feel alone with these symptoms 😢 but I do not like or feel good that we are experiencing this things.

Sending good vibes ✨ I smell gas alot, neg covid but randomly have systems. Always so tired. I feel like I will never be the same. Had covid in dec16th 2021 -Jan8th 2022, I have developed so many new things. I wish my dr would take me more seriously, I take mental meds now 😒 said my social anxiety is all it is & its more than that. I can't stand the smell of a candle burning, I taste smoke and gas fumes randomly. We will get through this 💪
