My taste was gone or just white noise for over a year. I’m not sure how to explain it, except that my brain couldn’t unscramble what it was supposed to be processing.
Smell was similar, except that I became drug dog sensitive to any fruit or vegetable with sulfur in it. I could smell the sulfur on a orange from 30 or 40 ft away. I could also smell fresh flowers from a ridiculous distance. One day, they both just came back. Been normal for about 3 months now. Whole process was about sixteen months.
Sounds like something out of a science fiction novel. Holy smokes man.
