This is some weird shite. Can't taste a damn thing. Olives, jalapeños, pickles, nada.

It took me like 5 months to be able to smell my own farts again.

Same here. I got vaccinated..

I never had it, but I can't let the "I got vaccinated" comment go without saying I am bullshitting, I wish I could because I know it would trigger people, but I just can't "type it with a straight face"

Mine came back broken.

Sucks, but after 2 years this way you get used to it.

I never lost taste or smell - I had Covid after Christmas 2021

I didn’t eat for a week bc the sore throat was so bad but I could taste the cough drops

My family of 6 all lost taste and smell

About 2.5 weeks later it came back.

I first noticed enjoying salt and pepper pork skins again. We did play a fun game of “guess that food”. You’d be surprised how weird the texture of string cheese and Cheetos is when you can’t taste it. We also learned that people really don’t like mayonnaise or other creamy sauces when they can’t taste them. Good times.

Unfortunately for my wife when hers came back she hated peanut butter. She used to love peanut butter. Zero side effects for me that I’ve found.

None of us are vaxxed, if you care about about that

Had it twice. First time headache for a few hours and that was it. A lot worse the second time. I had fever, fatigue, loss of T & S, felt like I was falling when I was laying down and a few other things. Almost never got colds or allergies. Now I get colds more often and sometimes lose T & S a little, but it’s different than when I had COVID.

The worse part of COVID for me is the lingering lower back pain. 2 or 3 nights a week I have to sleep in a recliner. I go to the chiropractor, had a few massage’s, and I have started yoga for the first time. Nothing has worked so far. It’s been almost 11 months

I’m pretty healthy besides the back

6 months for me to get it back. That was over a year ago and I feel like I only have about 80% of the taste and smell that I used to have. Hopefully you get yours back 100%

Just had it for the first time a couple months ago. Like a cold for a few days, mainly tired. Luckily, never lost any of my senses, though my wife sometimes wishes she lost her sense of smell.
