I lost Sense of smell more than 10 weeks ago, (without any other symptom to the virus) after taking vitamins and zinc nothing helped. now I have this weird sensation every time something is cooking etc. its the same smell all across (and not in a good way, like a deep smell of burnt food, cant explain - have never felt that smell prior even not in pregnancy) Same happened to DH, who did have Covid-19 symptoms btw

Anyone had this situation? what would help me get out of this?

I heard of others who only started feeling smell a tiny bit now. They got the virus 2 days after Purim. That's about 3 months.

I lost mine way in the beginning and actually just started getting it back now. I think I’m probably at 15 percent right now.

My daughter has the same thing you are describing! She lost her smell months ago with almost no other symptoms of the virus. She slowly regained the smell and about a week ago told me that everything suddenly has an awful smell! It was hard for her describe it, only that whatever she smells is gross! Im assuming this is part of the coronavirus lingering in the system... hope it goes away soon!!

Yes. Going on 13 weeks now without a sense of smell. That crazy smell (and then it turned to crazy taste) is going on for 3 weeks now.

it's so funny you mention it! I often smell that things are burning when they are not. I thought I was losing my mind. I even googled it and saw taht people who smell smoke constantly might be having a stroke chv or brain tumor, I was so scared.
Now I see it's probably a leftover symptom of covid? I have antibodies and was sick in march, so who knows, it might that.
I tend to get 'flare ups' that feel like covid, approximately every month or so. I guess it might be a new chronic condition we all have?!

I sure hope this doesn't become chronic.

This is the part that scared me the most... The unknown aftereffects. People kept saying this is just a flu, but at every turn we've been seeing such strange symptoms and effects. I hope there are no more surprises ahead.

Hug to her, its annoying, you can't even express the depth how sickening this sensation is. its not like you can compare it to something its a new type of smell.
not to come of in a bad way, but I do feel relieved knowing its not only happening to me, I guess this is a way of the body fighting the sickness. just like someone mentioned.. tzaras raabim, yeah its "chutzi" nechama.

Do you have hands-on experience that it worked with symptoms mentioned above? I've been spending a whole lot recently on all different types of vitamins etc, that is why I ask

not personal experience with covid and smell and taste, but personal experience with other nervous system dysfunction post infection, based on my understanding of the underlying pathophysiology.

What have u been taking?

It has not gone away. But I've been keeping it away most of the day by avoiding eating things that bring on that horrible taste. Right now I'm managing with dairy. And no seasonings only salt and sugar. If I eat seasoned anything, especially chicken/meat/fish, I start crying from the horrible taste and smell that doesn't go away. So I am avoiding those things. No garlic in my dressing. Nothing. Then it's livable.
It's a shame. I had already started getting my taste back and was enjoying well seasoned food before this came on.
