I lost both my sense of taste and smell in August with Covid. Neither have returned. I have had maybe 5 instances where I caught a ..hint. of something smell wise,and it gone like snapping your fingers. Taste wise, I never ate hot or spicy food before covid of any type. Now I do. I have vaguely felt like I tasted something hot,and some super sour things. It is very frustrating. I was seeing a few Dr's for other issues they were trying to diagnose before covid hit. Now I deal with this also,and bow Dr's want to blame it all on covid when I was sick before I even got covid
