Covid

Still no sense of smell!

I think I had corona virus around 3 months ago around the time it peaked and lost my sense of smell. I still can't smell a thing. Anyone else have this problem?

I didn't care initially as assumed it would come back but now I feel a bit sad about it and also a bit worried that I can't smell things like gas or smoke.

I had it at Easter time. I seem to be able to smell flowers and perfume but very little else. Bathrooms smells and cooking smells don’t get through. Not that I want to able to smell bad smells but I do feel disadvantaged 🤷‍♀️

I had Covid at Easter. Complete anosmia for 2-3 weeks, has come back a bit but I used to have a really sensitive sense of smell and it's nowhere near as acute as it used to be

Exactly the same as LakeFlyPie. I had it in March. I could smell nothing whatsoever for a couple of weeks, then it slowly began to return. However my previously acute sense of smell is now really dulled. I really hope it returns properly one day.

Same as two previous posters. Although I wasn't tested so don't know if Covid was the cause.

If it's any consolation to us I read that in general recovery of sense of smell can take a year, so I am hopeful.
