Our sense of smell is still coming back for us almost 7 weeks after we first had Covid, but it's slowly getting there.
Read the other day in a healthline article that it can take as long as 5 months to return if you essentially have long-Covid. |

I’m just out of covid 10 day lockdown, no sense of smell or taste still..
one thing a friend said was to be careful you don’t gas your yourself from faulty appliances giving off fumes or natural gas.. |

I had covid in December.
I still have no smell except this horrible chemical smell with hot foods.
I still can't taste properly and life's been pretty miserable as a result.
I miss enjoying food |

"A neighbour did after having the experimental vaccine "
Must have been all that 5G RNA stuff in it. I heard it was developed by Vladimir Putin himself as part of a conspiracy to destroy the west!!! |

Mine lasted six weeks. It didn’t happen until I was in the second week of Covid and it came back gradually.
It was last Christmas. We have a festive candle with a very strong scent. I suddenly realised I couldn’t smell it anymore. My son went to smell it and he couldn’t either.
It’s now renamed the Covid Candle!

Had covid last November. Lost my taste and smell after a few days.
Was terrified as a cousin of mine never recovery hers.
Had to try adding extra spice or sweetness to all my food but still was shit. Couldn't even taste my wine 
Thankfully after around 10 days like it went it slowly started to come back. Took a few more weeks before it was back fully |

Currently in self isolation after a positive lft, awaiting the pcr results.
It was utterly surreal when it happened: my partner and I had some ice cream (needed to make room in the freezer) early afternoon whatcha was tasty. By the time dinner was around I couldn’t taste it.
Won’t be happy if it doesn’t come back. |

For 16 months no mask, no social distancing, hugging and seeing family and friends. Not even a sniffle. What a bunch of scared hypochondriacs this nations become. God help us if there's ever a war as everyone's scared of the new flu.. |

"Anyone on here lost their sense of smell and taste from this virus if so did you or do you you get it back?
 "
It does come back, be aware if it is gone for an extended period it is a possible flag for long covid, as such it’s worth seeing your GP x |

"A neighbour did after having the experimental vaccine "
There are several approved vaccines in the UK.
Your post sounds like scaremongering. Their experience, which may have come from being given a placebo, may not relate to any of the approved medicines available in the UK, if these people exist and had that claimed outcome. The great thing for anyone involved in trials, is that they will get phenomenal levels of monitoring and support. The output from dubious Facebook groups etc, isn't generally welcome for the improvement of well-being and helping the country get back on its feet |

Sounds like your potential hypochondria for the fake conspiracies etc instead |

But how satisfactory would sex be without your sense of taste and smell? |

Loss of taste and smell where my only symptoms.
My taste went funny for about 24 hours but I still had my full sense of smell, then my taste went completely and the next day my smell went.
My taste started coming back after 2 days and was fully back to normal after 4 days, My sense of smell suddenly came back after 5 days.

Well done you. Maybe some of our athletes should give you their medals?
I have worn a mask. I have had double vaccinations. Do you want to tell me to my face that I am a scared hypochondriac?
Covid is dangerous because of its transmissibility. Had we left it without doing anything then we would have had many more deaths. If you don't understand the consequences of leaving a virus with a high reproductive rate then you really need to educate yourself. You don't need a maths degree which included mathematical modeling like me but a simple understanding of exponential growth would be sufficient. |

Gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that we may be fighting a losing battle in this hypothetical war if our frontline is made up of anonymous internet trolls |

Actually I change my mind. I want neither to happen, because I need them both in my life so much! |

I lost my taste snd smell 4 years ago through a virus. Still not regained it. Was told if it doesn't return in 6 months the likelihood is it wnt. It has come back a little but nothing tastes or smells the same. I used to hate cigarette smoke. Now its so vile it makes me feel ill |

I had it in December and I completely lost all sense of taste and smell. 8 months on and its still not returned properly and those things that i can taste and smell arent necessarily the same as they were before. Pretty shit really. |

a friend of mine is almost the same ; 7 months on from covid and still no sense of smell or taste but he may have long covid so that could be the issue.

Yes, lost both completely in April 2020. I got them back, more or less, within a month but have been left with constant "cotton wool" mouth. A colleague of mine has zero taste and smell more than a year down the line. |

If anyone is in any doubt why this deadly and debilitating virus has managed to spread and mutate here's your answer.  |

Well my friend at least you can go on everybody's block list cos I'm guessing no vaccination either.
Im very happy for you. But what a selfish person. Maybe you dnt believe but you included your family and friends in your anti covid campaign. Arent you a loving responsible caring person.
Let's hope that you dnt get to find out how made up this virus is.

But as mine it was through a virus 4 years ago. Same symptoms as COVID if I didnt know better id have said it was. 4 months it lasted but sense of taste and smell never really returned . You learn to live with it. |

I had possible Covid about a week before lockdown, ordered a takeaway and the garlic naan tasted like cardboard, no garlic or anything. The dry cough and loss of breath followed but no antibodies detected after 12/18 months. I’m still 99% sure it was the rona, had a care package left for me and the person who dropped it off said I looked like death warmed up |

I've never had 'rona but judging from my wardrobe I lost all sense of taste around the year 2000.
My sense of smell is fine, though. I mean, I haven't washed for a few days and I still smell fine... |

Tested positive last weekend - lost taste and smell on Monday. It’s so odd, particularly cooking. Didn’t realise how much I rely on smell to cook! Meanwhile it’s been a miserable week, very glad we are double jabbed as I hate to think how poorly we might have been otherwise.

Well my 10 day self isolating is over this morning I can finally go out again. Have to say it's been a strange one this no temperature or cough to speak of kept my taste but lost my sense of smell. That was the only indication I had of this virus I guess I just have to wait and hope my sense of smell comes back soon I didn't realise how much smell is apart of every day life. |

I suggest you look up "Solicitor Leslie Lawrenson" a very well educated man who spouted the same crap as you.
He caught covid, had no underlying health conditions, he posted a vlog saying it was just the 'flu' and nothing to be scared of.
Covid killed him 9 days later |

Here here, by another who has been to war. I had Covid lost only sense of smell & taste only, when this all began & it wasn't touted as one of the things to look for! Maybe this guy has had Covid & its affected his brain! |
