have your sense of taste and smell come back?

[@warriorzentennis]

I have dealt with my loss of smell in two batches...one for six months and the other for five months. I know how depressing it can be to endure the loss of one of your senses. My best advice is to remain patient. My loss of smell was tied to allergies and inflammation as well so although my nerves were repairing, the odorant molecules could not make it to where they needed to go due to being blocked on the way. I have since recovered my sense of smell and I can honestly say I will never take it for granted again. Don't let your mind bring you down when you go day after day being let down that you can't smell the things you once enjoyed. Just like working out, your sense doesn't come back or improve immediately. Everything is a gradual process. Follow the instructions from your doctor and eventually you will start to notice a small scent, then those moments will become more frequent until one day you wake up and realize you can smell coffee and the world around you. Keep focused on healing and healing will come.

I lost my sense of smell completely on April 30th while battling Covid. Basically I couldn't smell anything. Zero Scent. No matter how hard I breathe in or put something close to my nose.. nothing. This obviously made everything I tasted become bland or horrible. I decided to pick 4 things to smell for the week - 2 scents I hate, and 2 I love. Every day I would smell these 4 things multiple times throughout the day. Finally today on May 5th, I am starting to smell again. One of the scents I hate was the one I smelled first. And shortly after, started to smell the rest of the scents. In case anyone is wondering - the 4 scents were: Rubbing Alcohol - I hate An anti-fungal cream I used in the past for ringworm - I hate (I smelled this first) Strawberry Jam - I love Eucalyptus Spearmint - I love. Food tastes normal already even though my smell is weak, but I expect it to get back to full strength eventually. Hope this helps. I will check in periodically to update everyone.

are your senses back?

[@OswaldDigestiveClinic]

Thanks for sharing on this important topic! One way to try to get smell back is through Olfactory training! You can buy 4 essential oils: eucalyptus, cloves, rose, and lemon. Put 5-6 drops of each oil on water color paper and put the paper inside a brown or amber colored jar. Take short bursts of smell 2x/day for 20 seconds each time, for at least 4 months, and track the progress of your sense of smell. Hope this is helpful for people!

Just want to give everyone some hope. Because I was freaking out not being able to smell until a few days ago. IT WILL come back, trust me. For me it came back on the third week. It randomly came back and it was very faint at first. And every day it improves about 5%. Im probably at 20% atm, which isn't much but it's DEFINITELY better than 0. Atleast I know it's coming back and getting better. Please hang in there! I used to cry and have panick attacks not being able to smell. It gets better folks!

Second time around that I lose my sense of smell due to a covid infection. Last time it took 6-8 weeks to recover some decent level of taste and smell. Not sure how long it will take this time. 3 vaccines and still got this crap. I normally have a very very good sense of smell, and I got it back to my sense of normal after the first time, which took 3-4 months (subjective perception and memory of what very subtle scents I could pick up during my lifetime before the loss). Still, I'm glad there are videos like this that give some decent understandable facts that leave me feeling hopeful.

I remember watching this video 1 month ago thinking I would be back to normal. Sike... All I had was a few headaches and some fatigue for a couple of days. Then my smell completely vanished. No congestion, no stuffy nose. Just couldn't smell anything. Not even slightly. Biting into garlic, shoving essential oils into my nose, not a whiff. About 29 days in, I was able to smell certain strong essential oils like eucalyptus and lemon after days of nothing in sight. I could also start tasting things like chocolates, candies, peanut butter at about 1/4 or 1/2 intensity. However the smells come and go. In the mornings I wake up being unable to smell anything. Towards the evenings I can smell certain items. Meats I am unable to smell. I do have allergies and I notice that taking zyrtec helps me to smell earlier in the day. While I don't doubt that for most people recovery is pretty simple, it has been very complicated and not linear at all for me whatsoever. I'm writing this now as I'm unable to smell anything, yet yesterday night I was able to smell and taste my tomato soup at about 1/4 intensity. I'm totally bracing myself for permanent damage honestly. As far as I've seen, the people who recover in under 2-4 weeks never "fully" lost their smell to begin with, and were just congested. This is on another level. I'm certain my allergies and dry air and nose is interfering with my recovery. Not to mention that my "default" smell (when I can even smell at all) has changed to smell like a mixture of vanilla and baby powder. I guess there really isn't any point in getting upset over it though. It's not like I can control how my body recovers or if it recovers at all. I wish things were different.

I can totally relate to everything you said. I got Covid at the beginning of July and still dealing with issues with my nose. I feel like I have a perpetual stuffy, sensitive nose and for the past two weeks everything has a strange taste/smell like sour stale cardboard .. I can't even explain it. Back in September I had a phantosmia of cigarettes for about two weeks. I'm going to boost my zinc intake and see if things improve .. we just have to be patient with the process. Hope things get better for you soon, peace!

Thank you for this information! I haven’t been able to smell for 4 days and it’s miserable! I feel hopeful again that it will go away!

[@katarzynahaadaj6874]

Hi All, I wanted to let you know that you are going to be okay. It does come back. When I lost both, taste and smell due to Covid I was looking for reassurance that it will come back and I was looking for comments like this. Please stay sane. It is very hard and my week without any smell and taste whatsoever was one of the worst in my life. It is coming back now slowly but surely. Still cannot smell everything or some stuff smell different than they used to but we will get there. If you think that you will go crazy without doing anything, please try smell training and buy vitamins. It helped me to get through this. I knew that I am not passive but I am doing something about it. Lots of love for everyone.

[@Top-Scandal]

This virus is so bizarre. I’m on day 6 of having symptoms and didn’t start losing taste and smell until day 3. My symptoms haven’t been too bad but it’s so weird not being able to taste or smell anything at all, especially since I haven’t had much of a stuffy/runny nose at all nor have I been very congested. I can’t even smell Vick’s Vaporub and I’m sure most of you know how strong that stuff can smell. It’s just so different compared to any cold or flu I’ve had before, since with those illnesses I’d at least be able to taste a little bit if I blew and cleared out my nose enough. Absolutely nothing I can do about that with covid though no matter how much cold medicine or Kleenex I go through. Best of luck to anyone in recovery from covid (especially to those with severe symptoms), this virus is no joke.

[@stellarshome4608]

I know what you’re feeling. On my day 3, I lost my sense of smell and taste. It’s frustrating but I helped my brain in identifying different smells that I used to know. Before I smell it, i keep on repeating to myself what it is called and how it used to smell and taste. Chances are, you might not be able to smell or taste it at the beginning but you just have to repeat the process in the day for several days. On day 14, I finally git my sense of taste and smell back. All these things, I’ve done with prayers. And He helped me :). I’m pretty sure, you’ll regain yours. Just be patient :)

i do not care about the video im here only to talk about my loss of smell, i lost it 4 days ago and its terrifying !! the first days are okey but than its horrible, im about to cry, thanks to all the people who are writing comments, they gave me hope. losing smell is the worst symptom of covid, even fever or headache are less terrifying, and its the only symptom i have now, i had little fever and headache the first night than i lost my smell in a matter of 12 hours, since im waiting for it te come back.

​@@bodyu83 Hi, the 6 first days i wasn't able to smell nor taste anything, like nothing at all, after day 6 i started smelling again but very very faintly, the same day i lost it again and the next day i recovered it but again very faint and it was coming and going throughout the day..., after day 10 and to this today (day 15) i've been recovering a little bit of my sense of smell each day, today i can smell like before (90%) but tasting came back just two days ago not like before but improving, before day 13 i still wasn't able to taste anything, don't panic, it will come back in one week or two, stop reading articles on the internet because they do not have enough informations and they would say things like you won't recover or you will recover in months or years... all i did was drinking vitamin C and zinc and some physical activities. hope you recover soon !
