I had a positive COVID test about a month ago and subsequently completely lost my taste and smell. They have both partially returned. I was dreading losing my sense of smell when I originally heard of it as COVID symptom but actually it's the loss of taste that's upsetting me more. (Aside from not being able to properly 'smell' my children when I hug and kiss them
) Nothing has much flavour. I'm dousing my food in salt to make it palatable. I'm eating super sweet things I'm not normally interested in so I can taste a little bit of sweetness. I've actually put on weight and I think it's because I don't get satisfaction from eating so I'm eating more than I normally would.
I can't find anything much about this in terms of research / even just articles. Anyone else had similar? Did it come back? If I knew I just needed to be patient it would be easier, I think.
