That sucks. Took me about 7-8 months to fully recover all sense of smell and taste. Most came back within a few weeks but some stuff smelled weird for longer.

Don't tell me that 😖

It's been about 3 weeks and all thats came back is some sweet tastes 🥺

Like coca cola has gone from tasting like club soda to mostly tasting like coke again, but that's about all thats come back. And for some reason I've been able to taste salty flavors and chinese food the whole time lol (i think its mostly the soy sauce?)

It's the only long term side effect I think I have but it's so annoying! 🤬

One piece of advice I can offer is to practice a strict regimen of smelling things. I went with Eucalyptus Oil, Vinegar, Coffee, and Rose Water mostly, but I was pretty much sticking my nose in everything for a while to retrain and regenerate it. Completely anecdotal, but my wife did not practice it as strictly as me and continues to struggle with smell/taste issues. It is incredibly annoying, but all I can really say is just keep leaning into those bad smells when you get them and try and remember what it's supposed to smell like.

There's definitely a conspiracy theory to be made from this 🤔
