My taste is driving me crazy

[XanaDUer2]

I tasted strawberry yogurt, but not peanut butter cups. I seem to be able to smell a bit of cherry-flavored water. It tasted a bit, but it's not heavily flavored.

Anyone else experience this with Covid? I'm very upset.

1. Sorry to hear this. They say most people get their taste buds

back, I hope you do as well.

I’ve a 23 yr old granddaughter who lost her tastebuds a few days ago, am hoping and praying she will get them back. She’s fully vaccinated and boosted, still got Covid when she came home after graduation 👩?🎓

3. I hope she's okay!

2. Yes.

That happened to me when my taste started coming back. Some things I could taste and some were blah. It all came back after a couple weeks.

Sounds like you’re on the mend!

[XanaDUer2]

4. So you did lose taste?

It's terrifying. We don't have a lot minus our food. Did yours come back?

[Cracklin Charlie]

6. Yes, all came back after about 2 weeks.

That was delta variant.

It is a very strange experience.

You give me hope. I just had a fruit Gummi vitamin andcould pretty much taste it

9. what is it like to eat when you can't taste anything

I cannot even IMAGINE that

5. My neighbor and her mother, one month later

Can taste Fritos. Love them. Salt comes through, and vinegar, ketchup, spaghetti sauce. Everything else is like eating cardboard. Oddly, to me, they say they can smell but can’t taste. They are bummed out!

8. It's scary

It really is! I think I'm okay, then eat something I cannot taste

[Easterncedar]

11. I'm kinda thinking that any taste at all must be a good sign

I hope you’re back to normal soon!

13. Oh, dear.

I can't imagine losing my sense of smell or taste. I can tell that I don't smell or taste as well as I did in earlier years (I'm currently 74), but it's adequate right now.

I hope things get better for you soon.
