No beer, not sure I could handle that!I got most of it back 8 months later, but I still don't enjoy any Beer or Coffee, of which I used to drink a lot of, especially the Beer.

A definite plus if I ever seen one!Luckily, I never lost my taste for beer.
Don't mean to get off topic but in response to Bear...certain surgeries do that to ya. In 2009 I had diverticulitus and it ruptured, drank Black Velvet cokes back then, after 2 weeks in hospital I couldn't stand the taste of whiskey or pop...this started November 6th. In January of 2010 had another surgery, only a week in hospital but could now stand the taste of whiskey and pop. It was wierd for sure!This probably doesn't have any connection, but as for length of times:
I lost my sense of taste after Open-heart surgery in December of 2012.

So far I haven't had Covid---Knock on Wood!

Sometimes with our almost 3 year old Dobie crop dusting us the loss of smell could be a blessing!
I will never go nose blind to Counter insecticide.As someone who has done a ton of pesticide application to trees, there comes a point where your sense of smell becomes immune to the smell of the chemicals you routinely spray.
This is an old three but I am stressed! Just want to complain! I have Covid or had it’s been over a week. This is the third time I have had it!!!First of all, I'm not asking this in hopes of any sympathy or to have this tread be about vaccinations or anything like that, this is just for information purposes and I have a question. Happily, I just recovered from Covid and I had lost my sense of smell and taste, I had other symptoms also but for sake of this thread I will limit this to smell/taste. It started last Tuesday while i was eating a sandwich at work, I ate half the sammy that i could taste and by the time I got to the other half my taste/smell was completely gone, almost like someone flipped a switch and my senses were gone, fast forward to Saturday evening when I got them back, (approx 4 1/2 days) it was the same type of thing, they just appeared like a switch being turned back on.
If your willing to share your experiences regarding taste and smell with regard to Covid. I am curious about what happened ? I have asked a few people I know who had this symptom and most people say it went away slowly and came back slowly, some lost it completely, while others partially. My experience seemed very strange the way it disappeared and returned so abruptly, has anybody else had this?
As I said this is by no means meant to trivialize this virus or diminish its seriousness and I have nothing but sympathy for folks who have had it more severe than myself or payed the ultimate price. I am strictly wanting to keep this an an informative thread as I'm always interested in learning ,and if you are willing to share any insights I appreciate that, if this thread goes no where I'm ok with that also.
Thank You

You’ll be fine. First time I had the Rona I lost my taste and smell for about 8 months. It came back just of a sudden and all was fine for about a month and a half 6-8 weeks then I think I got the Delta variant only because I lost taste and smell again but that time was only 2 weeks and then all was good. Strange how that crude effected people differently. I never took any vaccine.This is an old three but I am stressed! Just want to complain! I have Covid or had it’s been over a week. This is the third time I have had it!!!
Every time I have Covid I lose my taste and smell. It blows!
First time a month and a half, the second 2 weeks. Now I am at day 6 with no taste or smell.
No other family members have experienced loss of tast or smell while having Covid or after. Why me!!!!!!!
Thank you for reading. This shall pass. Just need to complain and share my Covid experiences. I’m a blood type A if that has anything to do with it.
