Has anyone only partially lost their taste as a main symptom?

I noticed yesterday that I had very limited taste. Couldn't taste my toothpaste or other things I tried. It then seemed to return when I had a Tuna sandwich for lunch and could taste it slightly.

It seemed to have gone again this morning but by lunch I could taste it.

Both taste and smell are altered but have not go e completely. Everything that I have read suggests that it should go altogether?

I am isolating already and have ordered a kit.

Testing is definitely the right thing.

My smell went before my taste by a day or two... Any change to taste or smell is enough of a symptom to warrant a test. Hope you're ok and get your test quickly.

OP, you are definitely doing the right thing testing and isolating. I have a family member who tested positive after noticing that his sense of taste and smell had diminished, but not disappeared completely. His symptoms lasted two days in total.

Mine disappeared over a 24 hour period and stayed gone for 10 days

Yes not my only symptom but I have had an altered sense of taste and smell but not lost it altogether
