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 😫

I lost my sense of smell due to Covid in July 2021. It has never returned and professionals have told me it not. Like others in here, once in a great while I will catch a weak random whiff of something. I guess it is a better option compared to others whom lost their lives due to Covid.

I always loved to cook, rarely had to use a recipe.....just taste it & season. The JOY of cooking! Now terrible. I have very little appetite, but even if I do get hungry for something, I spend time getting it ready and then cannot even taste. Lost weight ,contributes to fatigue.
