so far, COVID symptoms rather mild, but appear to have lost my sense of taste. As one who loves to cook, this is distressing. Hope it returns quickly.
I post this for everyone, but super strong distinctive scents might still active your sense of smell. Quick, sharp inhales of things like orange peel, strong curry and essential oils can work. Also, the combo of sour and sweet in things like freshly cut oranges still activates your taste buds kinda like you're getting the full experience. I found all these really comforting while waiting for smell to return.
@Pilk @melbourne_wanderer Wifey had COVID about a month ago. It was really bad for a week, including intense migraines, but then cleared up.
About a week after most of her symptoms cleared, she began regaining her sense of taste.
A couple of weeks after that, we were in a queue outdoors and she complained: "Ugh I can't stand the smell of cigarettes. Wait โ I can smell the smokers! This is amazing! I CAN SMELL THE SMOKERS!"
Your mileage may vary, but for her it was mostly back within a month.
A month! eep.
I've found that I can "sense" citrus, salt and chilli. Not quite what I'm used to, but better than nothing!
Hugs and firm handshakes hoping you get better.
I need you to stay alive, capish?
understood!
