Fitfarms Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 After having Covid 1 1/2 ago my pallet and nose is not the same. I lost sense of smell and taste but when it came back things aren’t the same as before. Has anyone else noticed this. I can smell and taste but some things are just off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRich Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I've heard that from a number of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoFingers Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Mine was off for about a week or two after I recovered. Just took a little time to come around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasterHorses Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 My sense of smell has been altered since 2020. Taste was off for about six months but bacon tasted better than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flahute Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 This has happened to a lot of people and can take a little bit or a lot of time to get it all back. The brain needs to remake the connections that were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 2nd bout my taste was diminished for a few weeks. Just got over my 3rd, and mildest, bout of Covid, earlier this week, with no apparent affect on my taste buds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a wily veteran now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup! 1st time was in early 2020, before it was a "thing" and it hammered me. 2nd time was last year, and it got me pretty good...that's when the loss of smell and taste got me The last round was a week ago, and it was more like a bad cold. The kicker is that I was vaxed, including a booster, before Vegas. You'd think that I would have all kinds of antibodies going on.

PaulO Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I asked my wife about this. She said it's common when people are infected. They did have a patient where this continued after they were no longer positive. With covid, it's a relatively new disease as far as what is known. 22 minutes ago, Skinsfan1311 said: Yup! 1st time was in early 2020, before it was a "thing" and it hammered me. 2nd time was last year, and it got me pretty good...that's when the loss of smell and taste got me The last round was a week ago, and it was more like a bad cold.

Go figure Sometimes a vaccine does not cause an individual to produce antibodies. It depends on how a person's immune system reacts or not. Or you could have been exposed to different strains of the virus, or maybe just a lot of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
