Covid experience - loss of smell
Posted , 1 user is following.
Smell and taste disappeared completely for 2 weeks, after this time I began to feel something, but quite differently and weakly. For the fifth month now, the sense of smell and taste has not fully recovered (oranges, cucumbers, my adored watermelon have become disgustingly sickening in smell and taste for me.
The smells familiar to me have become completely different, having nothing to do with reality. I can't imagine my life without coffee, but coffee is now not at all the favorite drink that was before the illness. To be honest, it is very difficult for me to convey in words what I am experiencing, many do not understand how it is. Now a lot has changed for me, I start to forget the usual smells and tastes. When measured as a percentage, I can smell only 5 to 10% of smells and tastes. Sometimes I feel phantom smells, I used to wake up in the middle of the night from the smell of pomegranates, tangerines. I can say one thing, but the taste and smell have returned, but completely different and not very pleasant.
