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.
