Loss of smell

[HSHorror]

Did you lose it only slightly?

I lost it totally. and taste.

Had covid at Christmas, lost smell and taste completely.
Taste cake back within a couple months, smell still has not fully returned, I can only really smell things if they're strong and right under my nose.... I remain hopeful... but also realistic that other people have had far worse long covid symptoms which have an even greater impact on quality of life.

Did you have any other Covid symptoms?

I just had the headache from hell and tinnitus. The headache was REALLY bad, I could not get up until I had taken co-codamol and waited an hour for it to take effect.

I never had any cough, or sniffly nose or breathing issues. I am 51 and in the vulnerable group. I had it before any vaccines.

Smell and taste not back to normal after 7 months, but getting there.

One of my sons lost his sense of smell but had no other symptoms
Are you debating whether to test?
You should do a PCR

Smell was fine after 20min. Maybe it was allergies?
