Any help on getting the sense of taste and smell back? It may seems minor but I want food to taste like food again. It has been 1.25 years and not much improvement. I can hardly taste sweet or salt and bitter or acidic is overpowering.

Same here. I can taste “categories” but not actual flavors. As far as smell goes, I either can’t smell anything, it smells weird and not what it actually smells like, every now and then I can smell something and it will be overpowering like it is stuffed up my nose or it is “muted” like sound when you have earplugs in. It is disheartening that it has been almost 18 months of this.
