I had covid two years ago and I still have the issues of not smelling or tasting certain items how about y’all??

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 Support Group.

When I had Covid in November/December, 2019 I lost my sense of taste and smell. My smell has returned but taste has been altered. As a result my appetite has been much less and I have lost a lot of weight. I am trying hard to gain weight back, but it is difficult.

Had Covid 2-21 lost taste and smell. Taste came back but smell never did. It’s been over 2 years. I’m just use to it now.

3 &1/2 yrs, no taste or smell. 2 exceptions, I can usually detect ketchup or tomato/vinegar based sauces or dressings.
I can always smell VicksVaporub so I sniff it several times a day as a part of my smell therapy efforts.
Mayo ENT had me using sinus rinsing with the steroid Budesonide.....no smell change.

I have rotten smell that seems to come from but husband swears he doesn't smell anything, really bugs me!

Same here. I’m losing weight due to not being able to taste certain foods and feeling nauseous while eating.

Got Covid in Nov. of ‘21. Had nausea & lost of taste but smell was not affected. Lost 35 lbs. Nausea is long gone but most food still doesn’t taste very good. Last summer I ate cucumber sandwiches every day. This year I’m eating various cheeses and sourdough toast. I always loved chocolate ice cream, now I eat vanilla. So weird.

I used to love chocolate. Now I can’t taste it …
