I contracted Covid in December of 2022 and to this date, September 1, 2023 have lost my taste and smell. It’s getting hard to enjoy anything I eat due to this! I also don’t ever get hunger pains, so I just eat when it’s time to eat. I recently started to taste a bit of my minty toothpaste, and when I eat something salty, I can taste the salt, but no flavors. I am in the process of finding an acupuncturist as I’ve been told they may be able to help. Anybody else experiencing this?

Yes. I listed those two senses November 14, 2021, and still taste only the essence of foods (e.g., bitter vs. sweet).

Although my sense of taste and smell were diminished pre Covid, they got much worse afterwards. Some days I can taste nothing at all. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich may feel creamy and taste sweet, without flavors. I’m 1 1/2 years post first infection and 7 months post my second (despite taking precautions) so at this point I believe all of my symptoms will come and go and return again, for the rest of my life. I am fortunate that none are of a bed-confining nature. To all of you suffering with extreme debilitating symptoms, my prayers.
