Lost Smell and Taste after COVID
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: May 10 9:10am | Replies (48)Comment receiving replies
I got COVID early in March 2020...I was NOT hospitalized and my PCP called me 2x a day on face time to ensure I was breathing well and resting. Per my PCP I had an extreme case of COVID and was remained at home and isolated for 4 + weeks. I am 60 very fit and have never been sick and or hospitalized. I still have persistent problems with my sense of smell and taste. Does any one else have similar issues and if so how if this bent addressed ?
Thank you

Hi @rmfe - you'll notice that I moved your question about persistent problems with taste and smell post-COVID to this existing discussion posted by @seanc6437:

This way you can read responses from others who are experiencing this, like @strongevergreen and @chrissy188.
I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with these lingering COVID symptoms, I know that can be frustrating. Are you experiencing a complete loss of taste and smell, or are the senses back but not feeling quite right?

Hello @rmfe my COVID positive test was the first week of July. Unfortunately COVID affected to be able to taste. Dairy foods tasted bitter but the ability to taste is slowly returning. At this my inability to smell continues. I get tired easily.
I have posted information about my peeling and blister skin condition on my hands. I understand it can also effect your feet.
I hope this information will help.
I hope you feel better soon.
