I can usually taste
ketchup, dill pickles tart dressings on a salad. Once in a while I get a few seconds taste of a bite of food, then it's gone. I know if sweet or salty. This has been 3yrs!
I can smell VicksVapoRub, so I take a whiff every few hrs trying to relearn& stimulate my senses.
Mayo therapist has me using steroid
( Budesonide) in Netipot sinus rinse twice day. No recovery so far 3months.

I have been smelling things daily for months. What Dr's told me to do,as a generic response. Told me something should trigger it back. It is more frustrating and depressing than I ever imagined. My dad has not had a sense of smell for years due to a motorcycle accident. I never thought much of it,but my gosh, it's awful.
I try to have a sense pf humor, and say it's saving me money on thos expensive shampoos and body washes,since I can't smell anymore 😫
