Thanks for your response, Celia16. It’s February 2025 and I am in Mexico on vacation for 5 weeks. Interesting thing happened while here. I got a strep/ear infection and was put on Amox/Clav which is an antibiotic. While taking it, I could almost taste my coffee in the morning and that’s something I haven’t been able to do in almost 3 years! I’m done with the antibiotic and seem to be loosing what taste was beginning to come back. I’m wondering if I still need more antibiotics and that this Covid virus is still inside of me? I am loosing hope, but feel like by now someone should be coming up with a cure for this. I feel as if we’re being shuffled around from doctor to doctor to get some answers and nobody seems to know what to do. I have an appointment with a new ENT to see if she can find something. I’ve already seen one ENT and he said there was nothing in my sinuses or throat/ears to cause me to not have my taste/smell for this long. I have been referred to a therapist if I feel I need one to help me get over the fact that I may never taste or smell again and I’m only in my 60’s! Yes, I have considered other causes, but wouldn’t you think that my doctor would tell me if my other causes were actually causing this? I suffer from Hashimoto’s and Hypothyroidism and I also had 18” of my colon removed due to severe diverticulitis in April of 2022. I’ve asked if this could be the reason and I don’t really get a straight answer…makes me angry! Thank you for your concern.
