New symptom! bizzare smell and taste developed 2-3 months post covid

I had covid last September and subsequently got various symptoms.( I won’t list them here.) I was diagnosed with post covid syndrome, but still am not certain which symptoms it caused. However, I did lose most of my sense of smell and some taste for almost a year. (Discovered by tests.) It did return. I also simultaneously got a constant metallic turned bitter taste, which remains. And, I got a recurring phantom smell of a sweet smell like fabric softener. It was very pleasant, but came out of no where and was intermittent. I don’t use fabric softener. It stopped after about 6 months.
I fear the constant bitter taste is indefinite.

Oh my gosh! I thought I was going crazy! Had Covid Aug 2024. Lost sense of taste/smell. It’s mostly back now, even though my sense of smell is not as strong as it used to be. Actually the strangest part is that I can taste/smell downy fabric softener even when it’s nowhere near me! It’s the strangest thing.

I too have lost my taste and smell to Covid. It will be 2 years in December. My question to you is that Metallic taste, bitter taste you described, was that after the Covid Vaccine or with the actual Covid Virus? I distinctly remember having a Metallic taste in the back of my throat pretty much immediately after getting the first Covid Vaccine. I also have Hashimoto’s. Do you have Hashimoto’s or any other Auto Immune Disease? Just curious as I’ve met a few other people who have lost their taste and smell and they also have Hashimoto’s.
