User ID: 80860776 United States 01/02/2022 01:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had covid back in Aug/Sept of last year. Most likely the Delta variant. I never lost sense of smell or taste, and I'm a smoker. "Never underestimate the pain of a person. In all honesty, everyone is struggling. Just some people are better at hiding it than others." Everyone has to work out their own salvation. Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards. |

User ID: 23189531 United States 01/02/2022 02:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had the OG variant I think. Feb 2020. Lost taste and smell and it was pretty instant and complete as far as I remember. 2 weeks I had most of that back to normal, but it took coffee about a year to taste normal/right again. Thankfully no horrific smells or tastes. |

User ID: 60953828 United States 01/02/2022 02:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I gradually lost it about a week after I 1st had that original fever (for me it was 99.3...very mild). I honestly thought it was just an extremely mild cold. I only got myself tested after a friend I had seen a week prior (days before the fever) told me HE tested positive and sure enough, I then tested positive...we both got it from the same place. My smell gradually came back after about 2 weeks or maybe 10 days or so. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 75218361 United States 01/02/2022 02:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I lost 100% sense of smell. I realized this when I feeling sick and was at the gas pump pumping gas. I couldn't smell gasoline. The I tried smelling hand sanitizer - Nada. Taste was completely gone too although u didn't realize it untill I realized I couldn't smell. Last about 2-3 months. It's since returned. I was also sick for about a month with Covid. |

User ID: 81078243 United States 01/02/2022 02:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I remember when I couldn't taste sweet. Lots of foods are really good as long as you can take sweet and tart. Without sweet it's like sucking on a lemon. For some reason I had hyper bitter for a while. Anything with the tiniest amount of bitter taste was nothing but horribly bitter. Then I went down to nothing but the slightest bit of sour and salt. So I could taste the aftertaste of sourdough bread and salt. I never lost salt. I really feel sorry for people who report at a year later everything tastes rotten better or chemically. |

Quoting: The_Meridian Like did it all go at once or bit-by-bit? I went to have ketchup this morning and it tasted WRONG...like watered down, congealed blood. Other stuff I can taste and smell. that happened to me 2 years ago! I had sepsis from kidney stones! I started taking black seed oil capsules zinc n vitamin c n after two months my sense of taste came back! |

Things did not smell funny.... things did not smell period. It wasn't dull or muted like with a cold. It was completely nonexistent. Same with taste. Lasted 2-3 days came back over 3-4 days. That was me with OG covid fall 2019. |

Woke up one morning and it was gone. Stuck my nose in a jar full of kimchi, a cup of coffee and a lemon...nothing! As for taste i couldnt taste but knew if something was salty or sweet, couldnt taste it but knew...really fucking weird! They both came back slowly, 1 month later im 100% |
