Did you lose your sense of taste and smell?

Did it come back ?

Was hot sauce still hot , just no flavor ?

I havent had it...I know several who have ... taste is the last thing to come back for a few of them, still waiting.

That's the one benefit I see if I get it. I'll be able to eat my wife's cooking.

Yes I did. Tested positive on 11/7.......recovered and back to work on 11/20. Lost taste and smell on night of 11/7. Still not all the way back. Maybe 60-75% back. Also a few things i liked to eat prior to COVID I no longer like to eat. That is common as well.

When I say I lost taste and smell I mean 100%. Everything was just texture. Same thing hapoened to my wife and daughter as well as the guys at wirk thst had it. Out of about 20 people total maybe 3 have their taste back 100%.

The wife and I both had it an neither of us lost our sense of smell or taste. My son lost both for a couple of weeks before they came back.

I'm just getting over it, I lost 100% smell and taste for over 10 days. I'm now on day 15 and I'm able to smell and taste just a tad better each day. When I was at 100% loss of taste and smell, I could tell when something was sweet or salty and I could also tell if it was hot or not as in spicy. You don't realize how much you depend on your sense of smell until you completely loose it, it's actually kind of dangerous ... what if there was a gas leak or a fire in the house?

Loss of taste and sense of smell is not particularly isolated to covid it happens in many diseases. My daughter was confirmed positive on 12/19 and is back to work today, she says most noticeable was joint pain and intractable headache, and as in common with many diseases a general feeling of feeling crappy which persists a long time.

I tested positive and realized I lost taste and smell when I had some Hooters wings.
I told my wife these are bland but could tell they had hot sauce.

Like Mark, I fully haven't got it back.
I have lost weight because nothing taste good. I loved to eat bad food but nothing sounds good.
I use to love the taste of beer but now it's just okay.

You don't understand ..... I mean 100% loss of taste and smell ... in other words, you could have blind folded me and stuck a pile of dog chit under my nose and I wouldn't have known it.

I want to test this. I have a dog and a blindfold. Come on over. My plans are changing for New Years.

I pray I don’t catch this most horrible disease!

My son was changing his son's diaper that was full of industrial strength brown residue. He realized that he did not smell anything. That was when he got tested.

My nephew was diagnosed about 10 days ago. He still can't taste and can only smell a little. I make him 3 pounds of beef jerky every year for Christmas and his birthday. I haven't made it yet because there's no point.

I'm telling mom.
