I lost mine a little over two weeks ago, and I swear it’s worse now than it was a few days ago. It is just about to piss me off.

Just talked to my cousin who had it back in June. She said her taste still isn’t right and she just assumes it never will be.

3-4 weeks. Hang in there it will get better. That was the only symptoms I had at all.

Only lost smell. Was totally gone for about two weeks. Took another 3 weeks or so after that before it was back to normal.

A week to get about 50% back. About 2 weeks until “normal”

Taste was about 2.5 weeks, full sense of smell took a couple months. Things had to be right up to my nose to smell them for a while after it started coming back

This is a tough ask in Fayetteville.

Arky fans have smelled from pre-COVID and have never had a sense of taste.

Mine started last Monday. Still can't smell. I don't have any other symptoms though. Fever and cough went away after two days.

Taste was fully gone for 1 week. Three months since first symptom, back to 95%.

Smell was fully gone for 2 months. Three months later, back to 25-50%.

Taste was only gone for about two days. Smell took nearly two weeks to come back fully. Sometimes I think I’m still not smelling as good as I did before, but if that’s the case the difference is negligible. I can definitely smell.
