Posted in this thread earlier and had not had it yet. Caught it in late august, not long after posting about my fear of losing taste and/or smell (Executive Chef). Yep, lost smell and taste entirely for over a week. Taste starting coming back first and then smell. Slowly. Little by little. I was only out of work for a couple
Days because my other symptoms were so mild. No fever. A little runny nose. Kind of tired and aching but in my line of work at 50 I always feel like that. The sensory loss sucked and was very startling. Couldn’t taste how to season the food I was preparing, not good. Oh well, I got it back pretty fully after about two weeks. Nothing tastes different or ‘off’ or other than it should now, but, my sense of smell is only maybe 85 or 90% of what it once was. Enough to notice.
