Hi ladies,

Been a while since I've been on here ! I'm 4 years Post Meno now and recently had Covid.

I have a permanent salty taste all day ? I asked the Doctor and she said it isn't Burning Mouth Syndrome as it would have shown up way before now ? I hope she's right ?

Does anyone else have this or maybe it's a gift from Covid.

Thank you x

    I had this in my mid forties and it was due to hyperthyroid. I had a salt taste in my mouth constantly and everything I ate tasted too salty. I haven't experienced it in peri or post meno. There have been times where I've had like a metal taste but it didn't last long.
