Loss of Taste and Smell from Covid or something else?

May I inquire what the smell test is that your ENT had you take? I’ve seen an ENT, more than once and no smell test was even discussed! I told him I can’t smell much of anything and maybe that was enough for him. You mentioned your B12 symptoms were no smell/taste/rashes, burning skin, stinging skin, numbness, constipation, hair loss, those are all symptoms of Hashimoto’s/Hypothyroidism, which I have. Have you had your Thyroid Levels checked as well? You could also have a low thyroid. I will be looking into taking Vitamin B12. Thank you for posting this and I wish you continued good health and healing.

Please get your B12 checked before taking any. Taking it skews the result. This is according to my neurologist, who’s ordered thatvI take 1000 mcg daily with sublingual tablets. My body doesn’t absorb it well, so it’s sublingual or injections. I’ve done both. I’ll take it indefinitely according to my neurologist. It takes a long time to restore the body.
I have hypothyroidism, take medication and have my thyroid level checked regularly. It’s been ok for many years with meds, but I will mention it again when I see the rheumatologist next week. Thanks for the info. I also had constipation, but that has cleared since I started B12 treatment.
