Yes, get tested @psychward101
Loss of taste and smell are classic Covid symptoms

During my recent bout with Covid, I lost my sense of taste and smell for a while

Did it come back fully I’ve always been worried about that symptom I love food

I haven’t had that problem and yes I’ve tested positive for Covid before

Just got my taste buds and smell back today hope it stays with me so I can enjoy food again I don’t enjoy anything if I can’t taste or smell the food, I am eating what’s the point I know you need to eat but to me it’s a waste of time and energy if your taste and smell is gone. Parents are still sick because of me I feel guilty for making them sick in the first place. I can’t live in a Bubble though I have to get out and live my life even though I risk getting sick when going to the gym I can wear a mask elsewhere though which I plan on doing as soon as I am well enough to venture out although I did get out and go to the store today and wore a mask when doing so I am the most well at my house right now I think I may be on the road to recovery at Least I hope I am.
