How long did you lose your sense of smell for?

Double jabbed with AZ, early forties, about 19 days post start of symptoms. Still tired and lethargic but not too bad, still can't smell anything though at all. taste absolute fine. Feels so weird that I can't smell food or cleaning products or perfume? Then I live with hubby and three boys so might be a godsend too.

How long before your sense of smell came back?

It was about 5-6 days for me, although I lost my sense of taste too.

About three months for me - realised it was back when I could smell the cats litter tray ! I still get phantom smells though which drive me insane

Same as Splendo

Two weeks, never completely went though, could still taste sweet, salty and do on, it was more my sense of smell and how that affects taste.

Around 6 months, its back but not as good as it was.

Sorry, didn't read properly, yes I was the same, just the my sense of smell went for two weeks, well came back two weeks after I first felt a bit off and called into work. Can't remember if it went straight away or later than that.

About a week

I didn't notice I'd lost my smell at first, think it was when I was getting over the worst if it. No sign of it so maybe it will be a few months down the line Confused
