I lost my sense of smell and it's driving me crazy
    #28378331 - 06/28/23 09:37 PM (6 months, 27 days ago)

About a week ago I lost my sense of smell. It's 100% gone for most of the day, with a little sensitivity in the morning hours. My sense of taste is not surprisingly damaged as well since they are related.

I got over covid about a month before this happened, and when I had covid, my sense of smell was fine.

So, I have no idea if this is some kind of covid thing, or an allergy thing, or something else.

I do have allergies and well know how they go year after year so if this is allergy related, it is an all new thing.

Basically I am freaking out because I don't know if this is short term, long term, or forever. So many of my interests have to do with food and drink... I cook elaborately, I brew beer, I live near wineries and breweries... If all that is lost... I would be devastated.

I've been eating garbage food out of cans, and protein powders. Since nothing tastes right there's no point in cooking. This really sucks.

I believe it's from covid, I read about this not long ago, many get better in a few weeks but some people don't regain their sense of taste/smell until a year after having it.

I feel you, that's really tough! My colleague at work is in the same condition. She had COVID, was fully vaccinated, almost no symptoms. But then she completely lost her sense of taste and smell. By now she hasn't regained it.
For some people it comes back after some days, weeks or months. Smell training with essential oils also seems to do the trick for some.

There might even be help in our friends the mushrooms:

I personally experienced increased sense of smell while I tripped on GTs.
All not scientifically proven but worth a try.

Good luck with your recovery, be patient with yourself and nevertheless try to focus on the good things.
Peace!

I had a cold a month ago, and during the cold and a few days after that, I lost my sense of smell.  I was also really scared it would be permanent, but it's not. Now my sense of smell is back and I resume eating food that I enjoy eating.

I am not a physician but I think you should give it a bit more time to see if it will come back. A month is not that long for covid.
