I believe I began loosing my taste and smell after my first Covid Vaccine of Pfizer. I detected a metal taste in the back of my throat just after being injected. I caught Covid in December of 2022 and it’s now May 2025 and I still don’t have it back, but only detect salty, sweet or bitter tastes on my tongue when I eat. When I’m not eating, I will get an awful bitter taste on my tongue that is really awful! I do, on occasion, get whiffs of perfume or coffee in the morning but other than that, can’t smell anything. I was also recently told by the Chief of Neuro at Northwestern downtown that I won’t get my taste or smell back if it’s been over a year. Well, it’s been almost 3, so…I guess this is my new normal, unfortunately.
