After treatment, I could no longer taste sugar, making chocolate, among other things, taste disgusting. A real crisis for a chocoholic. After 19 years, I can say things got better, but I've never fully recovered my sense of taste. As William Olsen said, you will find your new normal. In the meantime, there is a lot of great advice here to help you cope. I've raised this issue elsewhere, that you need to monitor your blood pressure closely as time progresses, particularly your nocturnal blood pressure. 80% of patients develop baroreceptor failure, which causes your blood pressure to spike. It can be a real challenge to get it under control, something I'm still trying to achieve. Good luck!
