Had the Rona a couple weeks ago. Never lost taste or smell. Tried to kill the virus with copious amounts of bourbon. It was like a summer cold with a back ache.

A friend had kidney failure.
He said things tasted “ metallic.”

Doesn't sound like there is much loss. More of a change.

Had the one niner last oct. Still can't smell or taste.
My daughter screws with me, she will grab something and ask me to smell it to see if still good. I just ask her " do you want to see 12? Quit screwing with me" she's 11.

my favorite sausages not only taste different, they leave a funny aftertaste in my mouth. I'll try pulling out next time and maybe it won't be so bad. LOL Stevie gonna bite next time

I had Covid in September. I was eating pizza at Costco when the taste just disappeared. No taste or smell for several months. Then I started smelling a weird fruity chemical smell. It got so strong for about two weeks then slowly went away. There are a few things I can smell like bacon but a lot of things I get a brief whiff of but then it disappear again . Taste is at maybe 25%. The other night I cut up a pineapple. Took a bite and could taste it mildly. My wife took a bite and informed me it was rotten. I initially lost about ten pounds due to no appetite since I could not taste or smell it. But I’ve since gained the weight back. I was never a big fan of super spicy stuff but I’ve since order spicy meals just to get something out of it. If it’s ever found that this “ disease “ is traced to one individual. I hope they die a very slow and miserable death.

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.

It sucked. My wife got it the same time I did. She had her taste and smell back a week after losing it. Several at my office had it concurrently and none of them had anything like I did. Bad luck I guess.

My sense of smell was noticeably compromised about eight years ago. Never has come back. I can still smell elk but not well and I sometimes think I'm just remembering the smell. Nothing to do with covid or the common cold. Could be it's just age related. I miss it. GD

Wasn't tested, had most symptoms, including knock flat on my ass,
Sept 2020. Taste came back in a few weeks.
Wired wrong. Things weird, or like something else.
Most everything came back over the next year.
Except Oreos.
I love them, don't get them much.
Now, almost never. They taste "fishy".
Got an Oreo flurry the other day, not thinking about it.
Few spoonfuls in....."something isn't right".
Then it hit me.
They still taste like carp.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

Back in july aug 2020 when I had the rona.
Worst cold/ flu I ever had.
Felt like a ball peen hammer was repeatedly hit on every major joint group on my body.
Frequent non productive cough.
All set in over 2 days...
Did my own test.
Ran up to the convience store up on the bypass.
Spent like 12 bucks bought 4 of the fancy ice cream cones.
One of em had a strawberry center.
Other 3 variants of chocolate or vanilla whatevers.
1st 3 couldnt taste a frigging thing.
Strawberry one I ate all around the strawberry center, when I got to that I felt a small taste/ tingle at the most.
Fuuucking Chinese
Fugging up everyfuggingthing....
Loss of taste lasted like 4 or 5 days....
