Have you honestly never lost taste or smell with an illness in the past?
Honestly, I don't remember ever losing smell but I've only had flu a couple times and don't have allergies or sinus issues.
Most of the time if I get sick its something dubious I ate or drank and have stomach issues.
I get I likely have the flu and symptoms are mild, but the loss of smell and the way it flipped off has thrown me for a loop.

I don’t think this is quite the same thing.

Mine came back over a period of 3 months. I’ve had little mini relapses here or there, but for the most part it’s back to normal. I tested positive in May.

You and me both, which also leads to the loss of taste. Just ate a clove of garlic and it was a weird-arse experience. Couldn't taste shite, but my tongue and throat burned from the spice. Tested positive on Monday, and I can say that this has not been worse than the flu, however, the loss of smell/taste especially sucks on Thanksgiving.

I would eat the healthiest food possible if I couldn't smell or taste

Thanksgiving food is way overrated anyway

My question is why even test if your symptoms are mild as you seem to suggest, just lost sense of taste and smell? Just curious? I would not run get a flu test....

Main reason for us is my wife woke up feeling bad Saturday so with thanksgiving coming we wanted to see what’s up before family came over. With me, I figured if I was positive as well we wouldn’t have to keep the wife locked in the back of the house for 10 days.

I tested positive yesterday. But I'm ready to eat and hopefully taste it.

Lost taste and smell for about 12 days. I tried some natural remedies, one being a teaspoon of cayenne mixed with a teaspoon of honey. Didn’t feel a thing until it hit my throat. 4 months later I don’t think my smell is what it was before.

I got covid on Halloween and still can't smell. I can taste a little now. Frick china.

The absolute worst day of the year to lose smell and taste. Prayers sent.

Damn Jody

Anonymous sources in science and stuff say you may never get it back and you’re lucky to be alive!
This is CNN.
