Seems like my sense of taste is only getting worse. Coffee is almost flavourless but then a hit of awful aftertaste. I can taste honey and cheese and onion crisps though.

@james I wish you all the best getting over it! As gentle as I can be here...

Just wanted to share that there's probably two different things at play with loss of smell and taste. One is inflammation and if that's "all" you're dealing with you're very likely to get your smell and taste back as you get over the illness. The other is olfactory damage, and unfortunately if that's the case then you're probably looking more longterm.

I know of a case of each of those, personally, and I certainly hope you have no longterm damage!

@BE how can I tell which one is me? :D

@james I wish there were a way to tell, but probably just time. The person I know who completely lost theirs has only been able to taste "salt" for about 13 months now, so it sounds like you're probably better off than that at this point.

Real rest seems to be about the best option for clearing the virus at the point it seems like you're at.
