Aside from the more common symptoms of long COVID, some Canadians with the condition say they are also noticing long-term impacts on their ability to smell, taste and hear. Dozens of Canadians reached out to CTVNews.ca to share what their experience with long COVID has been like.

The wide range of symptoms associated with long COVID can make diagnosing the condition “a major challenge” for health-care providers and patients, Quinn said. Symptoms are often not exclusive to long COVID, but associated with other conditions, too. This can lead to some variation in terms of how physicians determine whether someone has long COVID, he said.

“You just want to know it’s going to end or it’s going to get better,” she said. “That’s what scares me the most. I can handle the not having taste, I can handle the not having smell … It’s the not knowing that really drives me crazy.” “A lot of people don’t get the support that they need from their families, friends and the medical community, and it’s like an ostracization,” she told CTVNews.ca in a telephone interview on Thursday. “We’re a lifeline of support for people.”

CTV is posting things, you have to know it's all lies and conspiracy. Government propaganda

How many were vaccinated?

It’s not long Covid it’s vaccine injured get the story straight

Anyone here who isn’t vaccinated that is suffering from these issues?… if you’re reading this let’s get some feedback

For those here commenting that they had Covid BEFORE they got vaxxed… can’t you possibly see that the effects of the vaccine could have been the issue regardless of when you had Covid?…

Funny that I never hear of anyone without the vaccine suffering from long Covid. That’s odd!

I also wonder if they have been jabbed. Could we get some stats on that?

Long covid is a lie to cover the damage caused by the cov-injection to immunity. Wait another 5 months and another name will be found by your experts. If you didn't fake the 'V ', you will not be able to say Long covid again. Get re- boosted !!!

'LoNg cOvID' Tell how to cure ourselves of long mainstream news. 🤡

There is no such thing.

what nonsense - from a centerwing millennial p.o.v. *maybe you should hire a journalist might help

CTV….. keeping the fear alive for as long as possible. Trudeau is really getting his monies worth on the big payout.

Not a word of truth! Covid19 bioweapon clot shots are safe & effective…don’t forget your boosters

You are sure it’s not long mRNA? What are the stats for pure blood normal people ?

The most annoying symptom I experienced was the chest pain. Felt like a elephant was sitting on me but i was breathing fine.

Covid vaccine problems.

Has there been anyone with long COVID who is unvaccinated?

Nuremberg 2.0 for CTV.

4 months... Smell still not 100%

You can tell when someone has lost their taste when they get “eat, pray, love” decals for their home.

stop jabbing maybe? elephantintheroom

Long covid = Poison jab injury. Obviously.

It’s the vaccine not Covid . Why is there no cases before 21? CTV

'Expert' CTV is nothing but lies for the liberal government

Vaccine injuries*

I suppose its better than getting a stroke or myocarditis 🤷🏽‍♀️

How about focusing on all the young people dropping dead with no explanation. “Doctors are baffled”.

What’s the point? Seriously, why are your writing this story? Is there anything that can be done about it (if it’s a thing)? Nobody cares. Cabinet ministers are run a muck, inflation, war on Canadian resources, weird war in Ukraine, investigate and report on something else.

I had no taste or smell for several months after covid. Very low energy even today, 10 months later but sure, it's just the flu. covid19 The after effects are real.

Loss of taste and smell!? Noooooo!!! Id way rather have a nuerological disorder for life.

Vaccine didn’t work?

Can you say long vaccine side affects

Yet to see hard evidence 'long covid' exists. In many studies a significant proportion subjects believing they had LongCovid tested negative for covid antibodies. Covidians & their media responded by telling us antibody tests aren't reliable. It's all a hazy shade of bs imo.

We were told the vax would prevent severe illness, so does that mean only the unvaxd can get long covid?

'on permanent disability'. Righto. That explains everything.

Just like many other colds or do the jabbed experience long covid more frequently? Personally I still do not know or have heard of anyone dying from Covid, only from the jab, but I do believe some did die from it mostly wrong treatments and old age,

Fake news from whiney people. Karen

The problem is the Pfizer vaccine that’s killing millions

Long Covid Hypochondriacs Wet Dream Ultimate Excuse To Play Ill

😂😂😂 sure.. 'long covid'

What if long Covid doesn’t exist and you’re just a lazy hypochondriac?

Criminal fake TV with your fake experts and polls, shove your 'studies' of political fiction science deep into your rear bumper!

Care to be actually educated with analysis of peer reviewed research.

Long Covid is pesticide poisoning from toxic vaccines and toxic Rx like IVM, Paxlovid, SSRI's etc. Get off this BioHarma toxic trash and get some Flush Niacin you'll recover in a week. You're welcome.

I have asymptomatic long COVID. I need CERB.

Would you take a experimental chemical that had expedited “approval”, if it gave you a 50% chance you would not lose you sense of taste for 2 months?

Omg. Enough of the fear porn.

CTV News has long Covid. It’s whole body is infected with sellouts.

This apparent 'Long Covid' may be a series of 'vaccine' related injuries. A study that compares 'vaccination' status to incidents of this ' Long covid' might yield interesting, if not concerning, results.

Long covid is what they are naming shot and environmental toxicity. Detox and feel better

People should read a book called “ Surrounded By Morons “ it explains why people are so manipulated by government,media and celebrities

Time Trudeau and Tam were held fully responsible

I love how they use the term “long” Covid. As if to subliminally condition you for this bullshit to continue indefinitely

Loss of taste and smell? Vascular, brain, lung damage are for life. I have nerve damage from 'mild' Covid. Taste and smell are the LEAST of my worries.

Sounds more like vaccine side effects

Long covid, 2023 version of long lymn disease...

While I didn't get severe Covid symptoms, it struck me down for 2+ months.

I can still smell propaganda!!

Long Covid is real and serious. It’s mostly known for its more common name “Vaxx Injury”

It's amazing to see how many expert on the covid vaccine there is in here.

Loss of taste and smell = the reason more people like pineapple on pizza than ever before

You get long covid from the boosters and shutup ctv give it a rest

Hey can you turn off comments when you post stories about COVID... seriously...you're giving everyone who shouldn't have an opinion on this complex subject a voice. Thanks, everyone sane

Hey can you turn off comments when you post stories about COVID... seriously...you're giving everyone who shouldn't have an opinion on complex this subject a voice. Thanks, everyone sane

nobody gives a sh1t

The ones that didn't get injected with experimental mRNA shot don't suffer from long covid, weird.

This is the complicit MSM and Gov't of Canada's way of passing blame of VACCINE INJURY on to the Covid Virus! Don't buy any of it!

3 years late on reporting🤡

Canada seems pretty quite on this

Why does it seem the only people with long covid are vaxed?

Wonder if ctv ever reads the comments

Oh look more propaganda

Now do a story on vaccine injuries and deaths.

There is no such thing as 'covid'. Grow up.

One of the side effects of long Covid is a longer Weiner

Long Covid a.k.a. Vaccine Injury

It's fake. Just like ctv.

CTV articles related to Covid always attract a horde of paranoid anti-vaxxers and PoilievreBots. It would be nice to hear from rational Canadians too.

“Long covid” coined to window dress vax long term adverse effects, how about that?

worse if you're vaccinated.

well, it gets worse if you're vaccinated.

Sounds better than stroke

ColtonPraill The number of people commenting with no clue. The damage on multiple organ systems is clearly visible on tests. Have a family member in a long covid study and the damage is heartbreaking. (From the OG covid, pre vax for those who want to say it was caused by the vax).

Here for the common sense comments.State owned media vs non propaganda'd critical thinking.Looks like the narrative if collapsing.Wonder what happens when the angry,jaded,mobs start demanding accountability.I know I'd be afraid if I had coerced into an experiment.

I'd take loss of smell and taste for a month over a stroke from the vaccine

Long Covid is a vaccine side effect.

I would like to know the work history on folks that are claiming 'Long Covid'... seems like some people just found a built in excuse to not try and go back to normal.

Beatin' that dead horse. Talk about the toxic shots.

GO AWAY..

'The emailed responses have not all been independently verified.' all you really need to know the extract same shit they accuse reported vax injured people of.

I know a person, one of my best friends. She got the vaxx, never had Covid so didn’t get long covid. What she got instead was CJD which came on quickly and she died within a month. You tell me which is worse.

Now do long vaccine.

I would bet the vast majority allegedly suffering are liberal women.

I think you mean Vax side effects 😃

I got no shots. Caught covid from my girlfriend who has shots. I had a cold for 2 days and no taste for 3 days. Shots are not required.

Anti vaxxers be like: NoPe, vIruS no KilL pEOple, vAksEeN kILl peOPLe🤡

Hey guess what lost taste and gained it back after 12hrs when I had Covid. But I took that bad drug Ivermectin.

why CTV hasn’t covered this?🤔

Still pushing this crap hey? The narrative is shifting, did you not get the memo? Ctv is a joke

You mean your vax didn’t work ?

It's just the cold 2.0 🤣

All media needs to be defunded. Just sources of state funded fear, division and propaganda with no interest in journalism or the truth.

Long covid lol

Now do mRNA & spikeprotein….

Covid has certainly caused many to lose their intelligence… if they had any to begin with.

I cant wait for the ratio when the elephant in the room finally gets the green light from blackface alladin to talk about.

Due to the COVID jab funny how the criminals covering up the mess

Experts say everyone should live in fear hiding in their cellar and rely on the government to give them everything they need to stay healthy

Are they unvaccinated?

'Long COVID' was never based on anything more than anecdote.

That’s the side effects of the vaccine!

I’m old enough to remember when the word expert meant something

For over 2 years.

Is it just me, or does 'Long Covid' seem a lot like the new Fibromyalgia? It seems more prevalent in the same demographics, and there is no medical test to diagnose it.

Just can’t let the fear mongering go, ? People have woken up and don’t believe your scary stories anymore.. give it up already. We never had things called “long flu”, “long cold”, or “long pneumonia” before, so what’s “long Covid”? (Essentially a “long cold”)?

The solution for this is more jabs to make you feel better! and now they have one for the damaged hearts they caused... This will never end until we stand up against evil greed. They will take everything you ever worked for and leave you with nothing.

FIFY CTV... 'Long VAX INJURY a 'whole-body disease,' with MOST RECIPIENTS experiencing, HEART ISSUES & DEATH AT SOME POINT AFTER BE VAXXED OR BOOSTERED: expert

I am going to guess people with long Covid have gas stoves. stovid19

I bet another booster or 2 will fix this. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

You meant vaccine accidents?

It’s the vaccines…fake news

How many with “long covid” are vaccinated? Are theses symptoms the result of confusing your immune response with an experimental treatment?

Better than a cardiac arrest or stroke from the vaccine though…

Some people can't taste ice cream anymore. Big whoop.

Long Covid is another description of vax injured/side effects

Any viral disease can do this.

You mean “Long Covid”.

Ivermectin is a drug that helped many people with long covid get better! Although it would be better if used in the beginning of the infection! Many people used in countries where doctors were not persecuted by the government, like Canada and others!

They found a new name for chronic Lyme disease?

I've had similar symptoms after really bad colds and they can last for months, such as distorted taste/smell, fatigue and a persistent cough. But eventually it goes away. How is 'long Covid' different and why is it news? We need to move on!

I know a couple - Got the Vax; he lost hearing right after She lost taste and smell Neither really go out (seniors) and have never had COVID - yet suffering now no taste and smell and HearingImpaired Take a chance with COVID Zero chance of VaccineSideEffect if no VAX

How many people experiencing 'Long Covid' are vaccinated? 🤔 And how many are not vacinated?

My wife lost her sense of taste and smell for a couple months. Healthy young female. Let me tell you something. It wasn’t a big fucking deal.

Vaccine injuries vs long Covid are difficult to tease out. The spike protein likely causes both.

Yeah, it has nothing to do with the vaccines that don't work

Ivermectin works well for long co-vid

I never experienced long covid, til I got the vaccine. I had covid twice in 2020 it wasn't fun, but it didn't stay long., before I was forced to get vaxxed...

Eat what you love today. Don’t wait until tomorrow. You don’t know whether you can taste tomorrow. CarpeDiem

Covid is not some other worldly super virus. What happened to our God Given immunity? Covid is so powerful that millenial old immunity can only be saved by a vaccine developed in 6mon containing Graphene, Fetal cells and a host of other ingredients? Ya No. Canada Ottawa Trudeau

LongCovid = VaccineInjured just a new name for old side-effects of Vaccines InjuriesNotRare

Not a thing

Long Covid is more commonly referred to as Long BULL💩.

It's all from the vaccine.

CTV, your non-stop obsession with COVID is comical at this point.

Sides effects of your miracle vaccine again .i don't know anyone who is unvaxx that got long covid or was hospitalized.. weird, hey!! I know a lot of people who didn't take your vaccine . Everyone felt like it was the normal seasonal flu . quite lying to people!!!

More like long bullsh** . Bunch of people pretending they cant work

But at least they are still experiencing as opposed to gone after hospital stay.

I got Covid about 3 weeks ago and it’s been hell, I can’t imagine someone older with a comprised immune system getting the disease. I can’t imagine what it would have been like had I not been vaccinated. My sense of taste is still distorted. Imagine dying on an anti-vax hill.

Interesting how the majority of long covid is happening to the vaccinated!

All jab related according to this article

Never met an unvaccinated person with long covid. Iykyk.

I feel so bad for the people that allowed that needle into their body, especially after CDC questioning it now. Imagine the fear in knowing that the very thing you thought was right is going to eventually cause you a major medical event. Terrible.

I'm sure you meant Long Vax

Not 'long covid' let's try 'compromised immune system'.

🙄🙄🙄

Could this be an effect of the injections?

Long covid = media induced hypochondria.

A disease of the mind

Get PCR TESTED, & you will get INFECTED The PCR TEST is the biggest scam, Big Pharma created & Funded by Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Typical High School Science

Long covid = vaxx injury! No long covid in the unvaxxed

Total bs. The vaccines are FAR more dangerous than Covid.

Brought to u by Trudeau thru ur tax dollars, Canada

Hey Fake News why dont u report on the unprecedented amount of young ppl dropping dead because of the vax instead of these lies. There is no such thing as long Covid. The Media needs to be held accountable every bit as Big Pharma for Crimes Against Humanity.

'After your third dose, get an AIDS test. Then sue your doctor' - Dr. Luc Montaigne(Nobel laureate/discovered AIDS 'virus') Call it what it is...YOU GOT AIDS!

Loss of smell and taste… they be eating smelly poop and they wouldn’t know it.

😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

Ah yeah right

I am genuinely curious whether there is an occupational component to long covid. What percentage are public servants?

There is no such thing as long covid.. just like there is no ';long flu', or 'long cold'.. its something else.

Long covid really seems to be a middle to upper class, 30-60 year old women’s disease. Every article I read it’s the same.

There is no such thing as long-term C19. However SuddenAdultDeathSyndrome is a real thing.

Are there statistics on the percentage of vaxxed vs unvaxxed that suffer from long covid? Until we get that data we don't really know if it's long covid or a vax injury.

'A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.' Booker T. Washington

And don’t forget SuddenAdultDeathSyndrome from vaccinations!
