I lost my sense of taste and smell on day 5. It started to come back a week later and was fully back within 2 weeks after that . I did stress that it would be gone forever but fortunately that wasn't the case ! Google smell training ( try abscent website ), I did it every day and it might have helped ( or maybe I would have recovered without it , no way of knowing !)

I lost it on day 4 I think and I'm on day 9 now. I found it so distressing tbh. It's just starting to return but still very dulled. I did smell training too.
