I agree. Sorry you got sick, Stella. I had a terrible flu in 2017--actually came down with it on New Year's day. I lost 30 lbs (I don't have any extra to begin with) and it took me a good 6 months to get over it. I really almost died. I never went to a doctor or the hospital. Good thing! I must have lost my sense of taste because I lost my appetite. There was no "covid" back then. Did someone tell you you had it, or did you have a fake PCR nose jab? |

Smell & taste issues STILL We can convince ourselves of things that aren’t true. You didn’t have a taste test before and then after Covid. So this is just your subjective opinion. Having heard about the sense of taste issue you may just be imagining it has lasted this long. That is just something we do as humans. Our minds our powerful. I imagine issues like that myself. Our sense of taste and smell can change over time. And, as we age, both get less discriminating. But, it could also be a real problem you are experiencing. If so, I am sorry. You might want to try not worrying about it and hoping it fixes itself. Often times problems will just resolve for reasons we don’t understand. |

You will do fine, and yes. Loss of sense, or changed sense of smell, for a extended period of time after a Flu, is not uncommon. It might or might, not return to normal. Often the change of smell does not return to whatever you smelled before. Personally, i had the flu 2 years ago, and now i cannot stand my own sweat smell, and have to wash my armpits multiple times per day to not feel sick. It is not brain damage, your smell receptors has been damaged, and had to be repaired by your body. Your receptors that had to be replaced after being damaged are not exact replica's of the ones you had before, thus your smell has changed for certain smells.

Take off and on large amounts of supplements. My head isn't the same. Didn't lose my taste but things taste off often. But my smelling goes off and on into really metallic hollow kind of, harsh smell. And its never fully bounced back either. And yes they seemed to have released something. Its still a scamdemic, because they simply should have been treating people preventatively, not really sick, with ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine and anything else. Its not like a "flu".

Not a good smell or flavor but this faint ghost taste lingered at least a month fading out. The half-day of losing taste and smell was interesting to me and worth it. I ate green beans and it simply tasted like water with chewiness. Everything tasted like water. My wife has type A blood and I believe it is true as reported that Type A gets hit harder. She fully lost taste and smell for well over a month. None of us had any trouble breathing. Other than the taste and smell thing, it was pretty much a flu. We are all good.
