Discusses recent theories of why many lose their sense of smell, also known as anosmia, with a SARS-CoV2 infection and why most will completely recover.
ear heavenly father , I come to you with this very serious illness and virus asking you to do a healing miracle in my body, my family's bodies and every bodys who is affected, for your son Jesus said that everything is possible for one who believes. Help me overcome any vestiges of unbelief and purify my faith so that I lean in on you in firm confidence that you will heal me and others. To the glory of my savior, forever and ever Amen .
Same I’m in a scared mood, i was able to smell before but now I can’t, a running nose and a headache my nose is so congestion I can’t smell much or taste but when I brush my teeth like I get the toothpaste smell then it goes away, it so scary day 2 barley .we don’t realize what we have till we don’t longer have it 🙏everyone please stay safe please even after recovery
Got Covid back in June. Been almost 7 months and still no smell. It literally feels like a light switch turned off. I wouldn’t wish this upon my worst enemy, it’s pure torture. Is something burning? Is this food old in the fridge? Do I smell a gas leak? Do I smell after the gym? You never know how much something truly means to you until it’s gone. I’m staying positive it will return. Stay in the fight guys. ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏻✊🏿
I'm going through the same thing and it's been going for about the same amount of time you've been experiencing it. I need to look more into it but I hope everything works out for those going through this. This shit is no joke..
im so sorry. Its my 3rd day since testing positive and it does suck. Have you tried the orange with brown sugar? I just tried it and my smell came back slightly and can taste a bit more. Worth a shot. Heres a link. ua-cam.com/video/Hn5PnOLxTZs/v-deo.html hope this helps!
I lost my sense of smell and taste for over a week and got it back today and I can't be happier to have my senses back! I hope you guys get your senses back too asap! Wish you all the best!
@@deepaklaishramte7931 I did not get tested but I never had fever or other symptoms, just the loss of smell and taste. Also my taste and smell is not completely back since I still can't smell or taste very weak scents and flavors but its better than when I couldn't smell or taste even the strong scents and flavor.
@@asuncionyam3564 i didn't take any medicine but i drank a mixture of ginger, garlic, carrot, and lime juice with honey. I dont know if that helped at all but thats what i took.
I was not able to smell or taste anything for 2 weeks after I was tested positive for covid. During those two weeks, I did steaming daily and also took Vitamin C and Zinc tablets which were really effective. During the third week, I was able to smell strong smelling substances like deo, nail polish, camphor, etc and I got my smell and taste back gradually. It's been a month now and both my senses have been restored back to normal. I can smell and taste 100% now 😊 . Wishing everybody a speedy recovery 😁
The vast majority of people recover their sense of smell and taste regardless of what medicines or supplements they take, so there's no way to know the zinc and vitamin C did anything at all.
Have a question during that time where u was able to smell like your own body odors like morning breath and I lost my smell on aug 6 now aug 25 I’m starting to smell a little then it fades away did that happen to u
I can partially taste food. I can taste when something is sweet, sour, salty. I've havent lost my sense of taste completely but I surely cannot smell a thing.
I have some taste like that but its like a big blank spot in my tongue, I. An taste salt good but nothing tastes like its supposed it all it either has very little taste or is just gross with how I perceive it. I have some smell but it is also only with select things. Some things that had a very strong smell I cannot smell a thing and morning coffee taste like hot water pretty much, I drink it cause ill get a headache if not but not enjoyable.
Omggg my taste and smell are coming back guys trust me be patient guys it took me like days to improve I couldn’t smell nothing I couldn’t smell my cologne,air freshener nothing but now I can smell it and this is a sign that it’s coming back guys you just got to be patient trust me it will come back just pray everyday and the Jesus will answer your prayer 🙏🏿 thank you so much god for this and now I’m regaining my sense of smell I love you god amen🙏🏿 good luck guys I hope y’all get y’all since of smell back fast.
@@carlomiguelfabella838 for after 7 days then I started regaining my smell and rn I’m on day 16 rn and I’m fine rn I can taste a bit a lot tho and I can smell
Lmao. Then explain how after 3 months I can't smell or taste one bit. Fair enough I haven't done anything to make it better but if it's patience you're talking about then quite frankly I've given up. Don't lie to people. Don't give people false hope. You just need to accept it.
after exactly 2 days of coughing productively, my sense of smell was lost and my taste buds were working 50%. after 6days my sense of smell was back and it's improving day by day so with my taste buds. still on quarantine, claiming for a total recovery. I am praying for all of us. Let's be strong and remain faithful to God. Please be safe and PRAY everyone!
My 20 year old son lost his taste and smell, then I also did a week later. It was our only symptoms and we both tested positive for COVID. He regained his taste completely by day 17. I knew since I am pushing 50 it would take me longer to recover, but wouldn’t you know it, I woke up on day 17 and my toothpaste tasted normal! Taste back completely! Our smell is hovering at about 70% still , but gradually improves. You will get your taste and smell back, any age you are, just hang in there!
I don't think age really matters I'm 18 and it took me a good 5 months to get it back and I still haven't gotten it back like before but i"m glad you got it back so soon
@@neo-fm9yi age for sure matters... apparently if you are in your 20's or younger then you could be looking at a longer recovery.. like 6-8 months or a year ive seen some places. bottom line your olfactory can regenerate so just keep up hope.
@@dashm33really? I thought it was the other way around also i thought it had to do with how bad your nerves get damaged interesting thanks for the info hope you get it back soon
I got my sense of smell after 7 days. THANK God... I was paranoid then so I got myself tested and I'm Covid Positive..0% smell... I couldn't then smell alchohol, lemon, or even dried fish...Its always uneasy and uncomfortable. Prayers to all who are suffering from this. May you get your smell back..
Don’t be panic guys if you cannot smell/taste anything. I lost my smell and taste before this, but I am gradually regain the smell and taste about 1 week. I’m about to finish my quarantine, keep fighting to those who struggle with Covid19 out there💪
I tested positive on the 1st of January, 6 days in and I have no taste or smell. That's the only symptoms I have. Having said that I consider myself lucky. A prayer for all the people that suffering in ICU
The day after I posted this I got my sense of smell and taste back.🙏🙏🙏. Don't despair. I drank a ton of hot water with ginger, lemon and a bit of real organic honey. I don't know if that had anything to do with it. A positive state of mind always helps. Good luck to all of you out there. ❤
@@joegaragozzo1640 so happy for you! I recently tested positive on the 4th of January. I lost my sense of smell and taste around my 4th day. I only have a headache and an on/off sore throat. I consider myself lucky as well. I will give the hot tea remedy a try! I wish us all a fast recovery!!
It’s definitely a little traumatic to lose your sense of smell. I don’t realize how much I rely on it till it’s gone. But I’m so glad to hear that it should be coming back in the next couple weeks! I do get flickers of smells but they fade quickly.
Mine came back soooo slow. It started with a flicker of smell. The next day a tiny bit more. It’s been over a month and I’m still not back to “normal”. It’s irritating.
@@raimeyewens7518 I feel you! My smell is like 30% back, but it’s definitely not normal and things smell weird right now. It’s annoying when smells that I’m used to smell different
@@destinyjoy98 my smell has been about 30% for a few weeks after recovering but then out of nowhere I start smelling smoke and it won't go away. Smells exactly like cigarette smoke. Can't stand the smell. Really hope I get my smell back soon 😭
I lost my taste and smell December 15th. I can taste sweet , salty and bitter. Nothing else. It’s been extremely difficult living this way. Smell was a huge part of my life.
It's a huge part for anybody.I am 6 days without taste and smell, it's awful.I hope for a fast recovery to me and to everybody who suffer from that It's make me so angry but I don't have any option except to be patient.
@@albaingo8607 I was so lucky that I took back my taste in only 7 days!!! You can practice by smelling things like oregano, cinnamon etc. Also you can eat things like vinegar, balsamic vinegar or lemon
Thank you for this explanation! The best video I’ve watched on it so far! I now have hope and a reasonable timeline to expect smell and taste to come back.
Guys I know it’s scary and u probably be feeling hopeless and lost, BUT IT COMES BACK , it takes a little time , it took me about 12-14 days and I would 70 percent of my taste and smell has came back. SO DONT LOOSE HOPE , some tips would be :- Take regular steams , drink hot liquids as much as u can and Take atleast 3 tablets of VITAMIN C each day. IT WILL RECOVER DONT WORRY GUYS
I’ve tested positive about a little over a month ago and I still have no smell at all and my taste is like 55% back. This is horrible and don’t wish this on anyone man.
@@danh5810 no but I have a scheduled appointment to a ear nose and throat doctor. So apparently there's something called smell therapy and they might put me on that but I could definitely try those options! Thanks!
I lost my sense of taste and smell for around a week before I got it back. It freaked me out so I can completely understand what you’re going through. I used olfactory smell therapy to get my senses back. Keep at it and stay strong! Wishing everyone going through this nightmare the absolute best.
This is the best explanation I’ve heard yet!! Lost my Smell 100% in late November taste 50%, so 4 months in and Today I actually smelled food cooking. Hoorayyyy 🎉
Even I had mild symptoms and had anosmia... After checking some comments below, I was a bit concerned and scared but in a week's time, it is returning very well. Don't worry by looking at other comments
I didn't have covid, but i lost my sense of smell and 50% of taste. This comments really scaring me. Hope it will return in couple of days. It's been 5 days now, I'm really suffering.
Thanks for the video! I’m going thru this right now... recovering from Covid and my smell was completely gone, now it’s just like you said, and will only last a few seconds. This video was so encouraging! Thank you!
I’m on day 5 with Covid, lost my smell n taste buds, it’s the worst thing ever....thank God for the uplifting comments in this channel, I was losing my hopes of regaining my taste n smell senses back again :/
I tested positive on the 5th of January and I didn’t lose my taste and smell until my 9th day of COVID-19. Today is day 11 for me and mine is coming back a decent amount today. It was pure torture, but everyone who doesn’t have their senses, stay patient. I promise it gets better!
I have lost feeling of smell 5 days after from the first symptoms.. Day 1: Weakness and Energy Loss Day 2: Muscle pain all around the body Day 3: Running Nose Day 4: Feeling Cold+Shaking+ MusclePain+ 37.5 fever Day 5: Feeling better,No more running nose, No more shaking and fever. Hungry and thirsty all day. And finally just before sleeping at night I realized i have lost my smell and taste. Day 6: No smell Day 7: No smell Day 8: everything smells like burned meat (coffee ,tea,etc). no other smells Day 9 Orange and other fruits smells like spoiled fish or sulphur Day 10 No tolerance for any kind of smoke around. Very disgusting dead rat smell from cigarette and other smokes. Day 11. First time smelling garlic %10 Day 12 Head&Shoulders smell back again while shovering 😍 Day 13 I can smell my shit right now but still not %100 I need some certain distance to get smells (maybe 30-40 cm )
100% loss of smell and taste here and as someone who loves food this really makes me think what a big role smell has in choosing what we eat and drink, I hope that this will be the only thing that will be difficult with the virus.
I am ok I had only loss of smell and felt tired most of the time but after 2 weeks my olfactory sense came back but it took 3 and a half weeks to fully recover though.
Hi there, first of all thanks for the video, it was a big help to me to understand what was going on inside my body. I lost my sense of smell for about 10 days, always had my sense of taste but as my sense of smell has started to recover I find that things also have more taste. To anyone watching the video, if you are going through this too, you have my sympathy but don't lose heart, I have read that the olfactory nerve system constantly regenerates itself and typically takes 6-8 weeks to complete a regeneration cycle. So there is plenty of hope for you to recover. My sense of smell started to come back 2 weeks ago, I could only smell a few things at first and very faintly and most things I still couldn't smell. Then the things I could smell got stronger and I could smell new things that the previous day I couldn't. My recovery has been gradual and is at about 80-85% now, and each day improving. I have been doing smell training for 2 weeks now with a specific kit of essential oils but, I also regularly smell things around the house as I have a reference to how they should smell. I have also been eating plenty of fruits and vegetables and making sure to get enough omega 3, ground flax, ground chia and walnuts everyday and making sure to get enough B12. On the recommendation of a doctor I have also been taking 600mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid each day as well. I don't know if any or all of this helped but I am very grateful that my sense of smell is returning and improving each day. I have noticed that it is not as strong in the morning but much stronger by the afternoon with certain scents, other scents seem less affected by this and have the same strength of odour, although these are the scents that I started to recover first, like mint, eucalyptus and citrus. Don't lose heart, I know it is difficult. Do your research and help yourself as much as you can with diet and smell training. I wish you all the best and a swift recovery.
Hi there! Have your smell fully came back as normal? It's weid that until now i can smell some thing light smell but some strong as vinegar as still can not get it. My sense of smell up and down every day
Dont worry it's going to be okay supersoon ihave also gone through this just use vitamin c capsule as much as u can and do steam atleast 2 times a day it will get to normal if u do this for 4 5 days
I tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday. The only symptoms I'm having is loss of smell and let me say this: we as people reaaaaally take things for granted, and I'm not saying that in a cocky manner but we really don't value what we have until we lose them and this is extremely scary for me. I sympathize with all who has lost love ones or is going through this themselves. Please, prayer is needed, here. Thxs.
I understand. I lost my sense of smell on Friday. I'm really worried it's permanent. I feel nauseous all the time because of the anxiety this produces.
Congrats, you had a sinus infection. I used to not be able to taste for smell for days twice a year for over 20 yrs and you all are acting like this a new thing lol. Then it went from my head to my chest. Thats when I got really sick. Like ER sick. Couldnt breath, fever, coughing. The whole 9. At least they were smart and picked something that everyone gets to scare the shit out of you sheeps. Covid is tested where? BY THE SINUS. For a lung disease? How stupid are you people?
Living without any smell is pure torture. Our sense of flavour is 90% our sense of smell. That is how we distinguish the different flavours of spices, and different foods in general. I can only feel the texture of the food I'm eating, and can tell whether its salty or sweet. Nothing else. No flavour or anything. I know its not nearly as bad as having difficulty breathing and all, but it is truly demoralising to have your favourite food in front of you and knowing you will not be able to feel any flavour when you eat it. Its been 14 days and no sense of smell yet. I'm holding strong and hoping hard that it comes back soon. I simply can't carry on without it.
I just lost my sense of smell 2 days ago and it's been hell. I tested positive 9 days ago and had relatively mild symptoms, but this is the first thing that really freaked me out. The funny thing is, I'm a medical student and I understand that almost everyone gets their smell back. But I keep panicking that it won't return. Reading these comments have been giving me hope. Thanks all. Stay safe out there. If (or should I say when?) I get my smell and taste back, I will NEVER take it for granted again.
Lost it for like 7 months now, i dont smell anything but when i eat, the food actually tastes like a deodorant or has a bitter taste. GOD it's so awful to taste something that had a better taste before.
Thank god for this video. I had a panic attack about this today. I read somewhere that this damage was permanent and I lost it. Glad to know it will most likely return soon.
@@skazerosful it returned at around 70% still can't notice distinct flavors or specific differences in scents but olfactory training has really helped with recovery.
@@skazerosful u may have tried this but it wasn't until i tried olfactory training that I started to recover my sense of smell. It started off very minor but everyday I could smell slightly more. I also tried to eat pungent foods with alot of garlic and onions I felt that helped too. Thinking about or remembering how something used to smell before trying to smell it helps alot too as this is all related to the brain. I'm sorry your still going through it I know how scary this feels. Hang in there and keep being proactive.
It’s been a week since I tested positive for covid, I lost my sense of smell about 6 days ago. It is slowly coming back. I have to get close to objects to smell them but it’s getting stronger every day. I’ll admit, it hit me hard to lose my sense of smell. I had panic attacks and so much anxiety about it. I believe it’s also due to the quarantine but mainly my sense loss. I hope that it is back to normal in the next coming days!! I also wish everyone a speedy recovery, get vaccinated!
You’re one of the first persons I read to have panic attacks over it. I’m having them daily as well. 3 weeks now. Pretty scared of how long this might last.
I tested positive yesterday buy I noticed loss of smell and taste the day before. You don't appreciate smell and taste until you don't have them Any more. Thankfully that's the main symptom. Praying that this will be the only symptoms. Praying for all who are battling this
@@congalala6777 my smell comes and goes and sometimes I’m only able to smell certain things like mouthwash, mint, and sometimes my soap and body spray but it comes in extremely weak but I can at least notice it. Does that mean I’m recovering? I’m hoping to eventually put this past me because I’m stressed that I may not recover. I feel like my progress is going backwards
@@MaliEndz Yes, you will recover. be patient and do not panic. It may take longer in some people than others. Sometimes my smell comes and goes too. You are not alone in this. We are all in this together, we all understand so don't feel stressed and depressed. I can smell my mouthwash too, but can't smell other things yet. My body wash is also a very faint smell but I am seeing improvements. Keep doing the Olfactory training and when you take a sniff of something just relax and concentrate on that smell, meditate on it, picture the object in your mind. gently inhale through your nose and exhale gently through your mouth. don't over do it, spend about a minute or so doing this twice a day. Your smell is going to come back slowly not suddenly. It's a marathon not a sprint, this takes time and it will be hard to notice improvements day by day. but the fact that you can smell anything is proof that your nerves still work. But just like other parts of your body, it will take some time for the cells to fully repair themselves.
@@iamdurgatamang I think right now it's about 75-80%, a couple of weeks ago it was like 50-60%, so I would say it recovering, slowly, but recovering nevertheless.
I was born without a sense of smell but I feel really bad for those of you who’ve lost yours. I know it can be difficult to not smell anything, especially in regards to appetite, so I hope y’all start to recover soon!
I'm really happy to hear that as well! When this symptom of a SARS-CoV2 infection was first described, no one new for sure if it was permanent or temporary. The studies out of Harvard were encouraging since they found no evidence of neuronal injury or bulbar atrophy. The assumption that the senses would normalize when the support cells healed was congruent with anecdotal reports of a transient loss. However, with a lot of people on this channel reporting prolonged anosmia, parosmia and phantosmia, I was a little concerned that delayed rejuvenation of the glial cells would lead to eventual neuronal damage and possible permanent loss. Your case is very encouraging that, even after months of positive symptoms, recovery is still possible. Really appreciate you sharing! I'm sure it will be very encouraging for others looking for answers!! Stay well.
i still can’t taste or smell, and it’s been 3 months or more. i’ve been getting very worried... i can get a little smell of when i spray my perfume. but it goes away.. it’s been like that for 1 month now with being able to smell for a sec then it goes away..
Who would have thought not being able to smell would be so uncomfortable. Im losing my mind and im not being dramatic about it. Without smell what is life. Ill never take my nose for granted again.
Its been 5 days since i lost my taste and smell FULLY the day before i lost it i was faintly tasting flavours and i already knew i was going down the path of losing my taste. I STILL HAVENT GOTTEN IT BACK but im gonna be positive and continue to update yall on my journey on regaining my smell and taste back! I still try my best to eat my favourite foods, i honestly just eat for textures hahaha
Day 11, I still dont have it back but i can taste my food for split seconds if i really try to taste it, strong smells i can smell at the first whiff after that its still the same, Mcdonalds french fries taste good tho hahah
I lost mine for a whole week, thankfully I got it back without issues and fast. It was so weird though-everything smelled like fresh winter air, which I now realize smells like absolutely nothing.
I'm 18 years old, and I got a sore throat and felt dizzy within infection, and it prodominatly and substantially has taken away my smell, and my taste, they aren't all gone but my smell is way worse then my tasting, it's been about 3 months and gradually my smelling has became better, but it's still not to it's optimal self, and as to everyone going through this, just keep a positive outlook on things, I've had a very rough time mentally grasping this all, and I've really lost myself, but pick yourselves up and don't let it drag you down much love (and with the smell it's gotten better as in with soaps and dishsoap I can smell better, or if it's sauce like ketchup or acidic, like mayonnaise I can smell it, and peanut butter)
Thanks doc! I lost my sense of tase two days ago and and my smell yesterday, though I was abit nervous I immediately turned to quarantine and undergone monitoring for these coming weeks!
Lost my sense of smell and taste on January 1st, still don't have it back completely yet. Sucks but I'm optimistic. Everyone else going through the same thing, hang in there. We'll get our senses back. Stay positive and God bless
@@MaliEndz As of today, 2-8-21 I still do not have complete taste or smell. However, I have been getting my taste back slightly and very slowly but it's still not 100% maybe 50-60% at best. As for my smell, also not 100%. I can slightly smell things up close but if there was a fire in the house, I'd probably see the smoke first before I could smell it, sucks. I would say smell up close is about 50-60% also but smell far away and foul smells, I'm at maybe 45% for smells far away and like 30% for foul smells, don't mind that part too much because when I'm changing my new baby's diapers, I wont be able to smell it lol but I prefer to be back to normal either way. I've been taking Vitamin D3, Zinc, vitamin B, and C. Magnesium but not as consistently as I should be, hard to get into that routine everyday for me. Next step is going to be to the ENT Dr. To see if He/she has any recommendations and more emphasis on taking vitamins more frequently. At least I got a little bit of both back but I had Covid since January 1st and it's the 8th of Feb. so hopefully the end of this month it might be a little better because it's been pretty annoying so far.
@@MaliEndz Also forgot to add, my nose has been extremely dry throughout the process and probably a big reason my smell and taste aren't 100% yet, in my opinion. The inside feels like sandpaper more often than not and like I'm congested but the airways are completely open. Its weird, but that's starting to change slightly so I'm hoping after that feeling goes away, it'll mean my senses have completely returned.
I just lost my sense of smell 3 days ago. I am on my 4th day of home quarantine. Praying to get completely healed soon 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 and for my family’s health as well. Praying for others who are sick rn too to get better🙏🏼
Thanks for the video. loss of sense of smell was my first symptom along with mild headache. I'm happy that I have partially recovered the smell sense while I'm still in isolation. I can detect the smell unlike before but the smell doesn't stay forever.
@@lakshyachoudhary6400 I lost mine in July 6 still has not fully recovered 😢 now wen I smell its like a garlic or iron smell and I have no taste either I tested negative as of Aug 3 and again Aug 12
Sorry that you're experiencing that! You could try Olfactory training. You can buy 4 essential oils: eucalyptus, cloves, rose, and lemon. Put 5-6 drops of each oil on water color paper and put the paper inside a brown or amber colored jar. Take short bursts of smell 2x/day for 20 seconds each time, for at least 4 months, and track the progress of your sense of smell. Hope this helps!
Very true. It's been exactly 2 weeks since I lost my smell, but now it's slowly coming back. Almost halfway since I can smell the smoke and coffee already.
Is there anyone who did not had covid and lost their sense of smell due to flu or stuffy nose ? Mine is 5th day now, i had very bad stuffy nose i used otrivin nasal spray to clear that, the next movement Aftr using spray i lost my smell, after 2days i used to smell strong scents only through one nostril like 40 to 50% ... but when i sleep it il fade away 😭 my life is never like this before, i am crying every day and night.... pls pray for me... i am completely lost in this 😞
@@kaspaking so far a week I’m kind of getting a smidge of taste and smell back. It’s not drastic but I can sort of smell lemon. I was recommended the airborne gummies and I believe it’s working for my immune system. I’ll pray that you get it back too!
It’s like being in the twilight zone because smell and taste are 40% of sensory input. For me, it’s caused nausea (from phantom smells) and a level of anxiety (something I don’t normally struggle with) due to not being able to smell the world around me. What I’ve been using to gauge my sense of smell is numerous essential oils. I’ve been smelling them daily to 1. Stimulate my sense of smell and 2. Gauge if it’s getting any better. I could smell them a little stronger today, so I’m praying it’s a sign of recovery.
Today is my 3rd day. Psychologically devastated because I feel so vulnerable that I couldn't smell anything. I'm getting easily irritated towards other.
@@sadinahrafael9700 mine anxiety also is too high right now.. none can say that this might be permanent as the virus is no older than a year.. as i told you, you got many chances as its too late.. most cases recover in a month... do u smell anything like burnt?
A big thanks to dr ehisz on UA-cam I can taste and smell properly again after I have lost my taste and smell for 7 months. If feels great to have my taste back 🤗
To all those having this issue, I was exactly the same for about 3 months after infection. What I did to recover and completely regain my smell and taste was take Alpha Lipoic Acid daily, zinc pills and exercise at least 3 times a week. Now at 6 months after my smell and taste are back.I don't know if it's becaue of what I took or simply time passing, but just thought I should share this with you all so you can have hope. IT WILL COME BACK EVENTUALLY
I thought I was going insane 😣 I gotta covid in november but just lost my sense of smell, then it came back about 2 weeks later but slowly everything started smelling like rotten eggs or rotten milk. I love baking and when the holidays came I couldn't serve anything I made because it smelled awful 😣 I hope we can all recover soon. I know it's nothing serious now but it definitely takes away the joy of eating 😭
I can taste mostly everything now but I can’t smell anything. Every now and then I’ll just be walking along and a smell will hit me then it’s gone. I smoke cannibis and can’t smell it before or after I smoke and I can’t taste it. That sucks!!!!!
I'm hopeful my sense of taste and smell will return to normal sooner or later (preferably sooner). It's been 26 days since I first noticed I couldn't smell anything, and about as long since I noticed things didn't taste right... Every now and then I'll catch a whiff of something for a second or two. This video encouraged me that those short whiffs are a sign my sense of smell will return and hopefully it'll bring my sense of taste along with it. This is weird but also dangerous, especially not being able to smell.
I lost my sense of smell due to Covid and it was the worst. Not being able to smell danger at home like if I left the gas on by mistake or smoke if there was a fire anywhere freaked me out. So many sleepless nights. After 2 weeks I got it back thank God.. For a week it was disoriented and I couldn’t make out what I was smelling but then i was able to and I’m so happy. My tips are smelling things you’re use to smelling regularly like your perfume, coffee grounds and lots of sinus washes helped me as well as smell training.
i lost both on 17th of april this year, did a steam inhalation with salt and vinegar 3 x a day, in just 5 days they have started to come back. though not 100% yet but possibly in week time i can fully regain my sense of taste and smell. in jesus name
I tested positive in mid February, I had coughs and minor flu symptoms. But I never lost my taste or sense of smell all the way through to my recovery about 10 days later. This will vary from people to people - however stay vigilant! Stay clean and avoid touching your face!
Thank you for your positive motivation, after 8 days I am starting to smell again but bad smell, something like burnt or rotten, but from yesterday, I started to smell few things in their true smell.
It's been almost 8months and I haven't recovered fully. Chocolate doesn't taste the same, my favourite perfume too... I just miss how I used to be. I guess people begin to appreciate something once it's gone.
I lost my smell 6 weeks ago. I can taste sweet, salty, sour, and bitter tastes but that's about it. I have been doing smell training and I get tiny hints of smells but they only last for a few seconds and then fade away. I am not going to lose hope. I'm 38 and besides a little cough, my smell loss was my only symptom. I'm grateful for that. Hang in there, everyone.
@@chrisduffy1600 Yes!!!! I had the cigarette burning smell too. That lasted about 3 weeks for me and then subsided. I still have 95% complete smell loss and my taste is not much better. Nothing has real flavor. :(
@@zachs40623 Look up on UA-cam how to do the olfactory training with essential oils. Don't give up. I'm heading on 4 months and only have about 30 percent of smell and taste. Through out the day I'll open the peanut butter etc. and try to smell it. If you try to smell things remember what they used to smell like. It helps to bring back your smell. Do it on a daily basis. I hope it helps. Hang in there you are definitely not alone.
I had Covid in early July and completely lost my taste and smell. That said I could tell if the food in my mouth was sweet, salty or spicy. It is now January 4th and there has been little improvement. My sense of smell is far better than my sense of taste. I can taste strong flavours like black licorice, garlic and root beer but that's about it. I'm in the process of following the smell retraining suggestion. I bought Rose, Lemon, Clove and Eucalyptus essential oils.
I'm going through the same thing. It's been 5 months and miss it. I smell cigarette smoke that ain't there and if I can smell it's extremely short lived. My husband smell like short bread when I can smell. I miss his scent, I miss the smell of coffee and my candles.
it is my second infection of Covid and my first time to experience loss of taste and smell today. It is my 5th day and have been reading multiple articles and watching info videos about the symptom; can't help but be anxious. Thanks to these doctors for explaining to us that everything WILL be okay 😷. I hope I get my senses back as soon as possible 🙏
Update: I gained back my sense of smell and taste 1 week after. however, my sense of taste was fluctuating. like some flavors such as saltiness - was strong. or sweetness was lacking but most of the time, food was blant. this lasted for maybe 2-3 weeks.
@@bd-bd Congratulations to you. I just tested positive for COVID, I'm on day 5 right now, don't know if I ever had COVID since all this started in December 2019. I got sick 5 times since January 2020 (with some sort of a respiratory tract infection I mean) and all 5 COVID tests came back negative which I find hard to believe. Because I also did strep tests for at least 1 of those instances that also came back negative. This time I did the at home test, 2 different brands, both gave me a very quick and clear positive result. I also blew up with fever for 3 days, the worst was the middle day, I hit 102°F at the highest reading. I lost my sense of taste and smell 3 days ago, it's not fun but I have more serious health issues than loss of taste/smell so I'm not worried about it at all. My wife always called me a bloodhound because of how sensitive and heightened my sense of smell always was, she said it was my superpower LOL. I could smell food burning on the stove before it even started to burn 😆. Oh well... Looks like the lab workers in Wuhan and the NIH had different plans for me, to take my superpower away. I am eating less which is probably a good thing, I feel like there's no reason to eat if I can't taste the food. Weird.
@@amann3161 Funny you ask, I'm just getting over a laryngitis, hard to talk... I got sick day before Thanksgiving Day and Thanksgiving dinner was a little tasteless since this cold/flu made me lose my sense of taste. But otherwise I'm fine, my sense of smell and taste from the COVID infection last year lasted about a week or so, eventually got everything back to normal as far as I could tell.
Didn't test for covid. All my family members had same issue of no smelling ability with mild fever for couple of days. It took 20 days to recover my testing or smelling ability. Thanks to Allah we are all safe now.
Hi guys I just wanted to say dont panic be patient and never lose hope. I lost my sense of smell and taste for 6 days and on the 7th day I recovered! Dont worrys guys it will come back!
@@arunkumarmreddy8497 dont worry I was in the same boat, just do olfactory training, drink lemon ginger honey tea and supplement vitamin c 1000mg and zinc 15mg.
This video eased my stress my about my smell loss. I noticed that smells are there but do fade quickly and I didn't know that meant things were improving.
I lost my taste and smell in October. It returned to almost normal in Dec and then I began experiencing phantom smells where things like coffee smell like garbage. It’s much worse than the loss of smell. It’s now almost March and I still cannot smell normally.
ME TOO!! loss of taste and smell in October.. came back about 2 weeks later. then late december it's like stuff I used to LOVE tastes or smells bad. wtf!!
Interesting that ace2 is in the path of smell. I had heard of this symptom early on, and it it quickly came to my mind that it may be more than coincidence that anosmia is a common side effect of zinc deficiency, and zinc may be an effective treatment for covid19, especially when combined with a zinc ionaphore. Just my hypothesis, but I take zinc/copper supplements, and use zinc lozenges, and also use quercetin, which is a zinc ionaphore as preventive measures.
My sense of smell and taste were immaculate before this. Could differentiate undertones, mid tones and key tones. Now I’m lucky if I even smell the Key tones and it’s been 4 months and I’m honestly so depressed. I am so inconsolable about this. My memory was also immaculate and some people may not know this but the area of your brain responsible for smell and memory are the same so my memory is also hot garbage now. My recall is atrocious. I am in a state of morose. I just can’t. I don’t know if it will ever go back to how it was. I feel like a shell of myself.
Doctor Klioze thank you for giving a detailed explanation, this has put my mind at ease. Its like if I don't get a scientific explanation of whats going on I would be panicking

What did you do to make your senses back?
@@asuncionyam3564 i didn't take any medicine but i drank a mixture of ginger, garlic, carrot, and lime juice with honey. I dont know if that helped at all but thats what i took.

I was not able to smell or taste anything for 2 weeks after I was tested positive for covid. During those two weeks, I did steaming daily and also took Vitamin C and Zinc tablets which were really effective. During the third week, I was able to smell strong smelling substances like deo, nail polish, camphor, etc and I got my smell and taste back gradually. It's been a month now and both my senses have been restored back to normal. I can smell and taste 100% now 😊 . Wishing everybody a speedy recovery 😁
Makes sense ua-cam.com/video/EeBMiSGjpWE/v-deo.html
how long did it take
The vast majority of people recover their sense of smell and taste regardless of what medicines or supplements they take, so there's no way to know the zinc and vitamin C did anything at all.
You are one of the lucky ones. I also took Vitamin C and zinc but only have 20 to 30% of my taste and smell. 🥺
Have a question during that time where u was able to smell like your own body odors like morning breath and I lost my smell on aug 6 now aug 25 I’m starting to smell a little then it fades away did that happen to u
I can partially taste food. I can taste when something is sweet, sour, salty. I've havent lost my sense of taste completely but I surely cannot smell a thing.
Mee tooo
@@r1zk1a Did you get tested?
I have some taste like that but its like a big blank spot in my tongue, I. An taste salt good but nothing tastes like its supposed it all it either has very little taste or is just gross with how I perceive it. I have some smell but it is also only with select things. Some things that had a very strong smell I cannot smell a thing and morning coffee taste like hot water pretty much, I drink it cause ill get a headache if not but not enjoyable.
Ok

Lmao. Then explain how after 3 months I can't smell or taste one bit. Fair enough I haven't done anything to make it better but if it's patience you're talking about then quite frankly I've given up. Don't lie to people. Don't give people false hope. You just need to accept it.

My 20 year old son lost his taste and smell, then I also did a week later. It was our only symptoms and we both tested positive for COVID. He regained his taste completely by day 17. I knew since I am pushing 50 it would take me longer to recover, but wouldn’t you know it, I woke up on day 17 and my toothpaste tasted normal! Taste back completely! Our smell is hovering at about 70% still , but gradually improves. You will get your taste and smell back, any age you are, just hang in there!
Same thing I prayed and prayed and god answer me and I’m regaining my smell now thank you Jesus 🙏🏿❤️

Hello, on which day did you test negative?
I have lost feeling of smell 5 days after from the first symptoms..
Day 1: Weakness and Energy Loss
Day 2: Muscle pain all around the body
Day 3: Running Nose
Day 4: Feeling Cold+Shaking+ MusclePain+ 37.5 fever
Day 5: Feeling better,No more running nose, No more shaking and fever.
Hungry and thirsty all day.
And finally just before sleeping at night I realized i have lost my smell and taste.
Day 6: No smell
Day 7: No smell
Day 8: everything smells like burned meat (coffee ,tea,etc). no other smells
Day 9 Orange and other fruits smells like spoiled fish or sulphur
Day 10 No tolerance for any kind of smoke around. Very disgusting dead rat smell from cigarette and other smokes.
Day 11. First time smelling garlic %10
Day 12 Head&Shoulders smell back again while shovering 😍
Day 13 I can smell my shit right now
but still not %100
I need some certain distance to get smells (maybe 30-40 cm )
Same here. Lost mine 5 days in. It’s been 3 days now. I sure hope it comes back soon. It’s a Smokey nasty smell when I smell good or eat
I tested positive on June 28th it’s now the 3rd and noticed that I can’t smell. 🥹
100% loss of smell and taste here and as someone who loves food this really makes me think what a big role smell has in choosing what we eat and drink, I hope that this will be the only thing that will be difficult with the virus.
How are you now?
Yeah how are you now ?
FEEDBACK?
I am ok I had only loss of smell and felt tired most of the time but after 2 weeks my olfactory sense came back but it took 3 and a half weeks to fully recover though.
@@kristiant96 I swear to God that from day 7 to day 24, my sense of smell has actually gotten worse. 😭 😡
Hi there, first of all thanks for the video, it was a big help to me to understand what was going on inside my body. I lost my sense of smell for about 10 days, always had my sense of taste but as my sense of smell has started to recover I find that things also have more taste. To anyone watching the video, if you are going through this too, you have my sympathy but don't lose heart, I have read that the olfactory nerve system constantly regenerates itself and typically takes 6-8 weeks to complete a regeneration cycle. So there is plenty of hope for you to recover. My sense of smell started to come back 2 weeks ago, I could only smell a few things at first and very faintly and most things I still couldn't smell. Then the things I could smell got stronger and I could smell new things that the previous day I couldn't. My recovery has been gradual and is at about 80-85% now, and each day improving. I have been doing smell training for 2 weeks now with a specific kit of essential oils but, I also regularly smell things around the house as I have a reference to how they should smell. I have also been eating plenty of fruits and vegetables and making sure to get enough omega 3, ground flax, ground chia and walnuts everyday and making sure to get enough B12. On the recommendation of a doctor I have also been taking 600mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid each day as well. I don't know if any or all of this helped but I am very grateful that my sense of smell is returning and improving each day. I have noticed that it is not as strong in the morning but much stronger by the afternoon with certain scents, other scents seem less affected by this and have the same strength of odour, although these are the scents that I started to recover first, like mint, eucalyptus and citrus. Don't lose heart, I know it is difficult. Do your research and help yourself as much as you can with diet and smell training. I wish you all the best and a swift recovery.
Hi there! Have your smell fully came back as normal? It's weid that until now i can smell some thing light smell but some strong as vinegar as still can not get it. My sense of smell up and down every day
Worst thing about losing smell and taste is spending time ordering food getting excited when it comes to not even enjoy it
Everytime
Even the food we liked, it's not good the same as before this shit
The 4th day, my world is odorless and tasteless 🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁 never like this before
Dont worry it's going to be okay supersoon ihave also gone through this just use vitamin c capsule as much as u can and do steam atleast 2 times a day it will get to normal if u do this for 4 5 days
At least we survived Covid 19, although I miss smell of my daughter
I can my nose back after 10 days, really happy to smell odors again 😂 but still even after 20 days it’s not 100% normal yet

I tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday. The only symptoms I'm having is loss of smell and let me say this: we as people reaaaaally take things for granted, and I'm not saying that in a cocky manner but we really don't value what we have until we lose them and this is extremely scary for me. I sympathize with all who has lost love ones or is going through this themselves. Please, prayer is needed, here. Thxs.

Hey you all should search for Dr Ehisz on UA-cam he will cure you 💯,I got back my sense of taste and smell after 7 months thanks to Dr Ehisz,,
Congrats, you had a sinus infection. I used to not be able to taste for smell for days twice a year for over 20 yrs and you all are acting like this a new thing lol. Then it went from my head to my chest. Thats when I got really sick. Like ER sick. Couldnt breath, fever, coughing. The whole 9. At least they were smart and picked something that everyone gets to scare the shit out of you sheeps. Covid is tested where? BY THE SINUS. For a lung disease? How stupid are you people?
Dr iyhere cured me from loss of taste and smell
Living without any smell is pure torture.
Our sense of flavour is 90% our sense of smell. That is how we distinguish the different flavours of spices, and different foods in general. I can only feel the texture of the food I'm eating, and can tell whether its salty or sweet. Nothing else. No flavour or anything. I know its not nearly as bad as having difficulty breathing and all, but it is truly demoralising to have your favourite food in front of you and knowing you will not be able to feel any flavour when you eat it. Its been 14 days and no sense of smell yet. I'm holding strong and hoping hard that it comes back soon. I simply can't carry on without it.
Hi,My both sense was gone for 16 months but I fully have them back now thanks to Dr Ehisz on UA-cam, search for him for your cure
I just lost my sense of smell 2 days ago and it's been hell. I tested positive 9 days ago and had relatively mild symptoms, but this is the first thing that really freaked me out. The funny thing is, I'm a medical student and I understand that almost everyone gets their smell back. But I keep panicking that it won't return. Reading these comments have been giving me hope. Thanks all. Stay safe out there. If (or should I say when?) I get my smell and taste back, I will NEVER take it for granted again.
Did u get it back
Lost it for like 7 months now, i dont smell anything but when i eat, the food actually tastes like a deodorant or has a bitter taste. GOD it's so awful to taste something that had a better taste before.

@@skazerosful u may have tried this but it wasn't until i tried olfactory training that I started to recover my sense of smell. It started off very minor but everyday I could smell slightly more. I also tried to eat pungent foods with alot of garlic and onions I felt that helped too. Thinking about or remembering how something used to smell before trying to smell it helps alot too as this is all related to the brain.

@@cp1223 and now??
It’s been a week since I tested positive for covid, I lost my sense of smell about 6 days ago. It is slowly coming back. I have to get close to objects to smell them but it’s getting stronger every day. I’ll admit, it hit me hard to lose my sense of smell. I had panic attacks and so much anxiety about it. I believe it’s also due to the quarantine but mainly my sense loss. I hope that it is back to normal in the next coming days!! I also wish everyone a speedy recovery, get vaccinated!

I tested positive yesterday buy I noticed loss of smell and taste the day before. You don't appreciate smell and taste until you don't have them Any more. Thankfully that's the main symptom. Praying that this will be the only symptoms. Praying for all who are battling this
Same here, hang in there. 🤗
@ thank you. You too. Lemon ginger tea has been amazing. I feel much better. My smell is faint but I can smell a little bit 😃
@@TheeMUA Same with me. I can smell a little bit too. That is a good sign. It means your cells in the olfactory nerves are rebuilding
@@congalala6777 my smell comes and goes and sometimes I’m only able to smell certain things like mouthwash, mint, and sometimes my soap and body spray but it comes in extremely weak but I can at least notice it. Does that mean I’m recovering? I’m hoping to eventually put this past me because I’m stressed that I may not recover. I feel like my progress is going backwards
@@MaliEndz Yes, you will recover. be patient and do not panic. It may take longer in some people than others. Sometimes my smell comes and goes too. You are not alone in this. We are all in this together, we all understand so don't feel stressed and depressed. I can smell my mouthwash too, but can't smell other things yet. My body wash is also a very faint smell but I am seeing improvements. Keep doing the Olfactory training and when you take a sniff of something just relax and concentrate on that smell, meditate on it, picture the object in your mind. gently inhale through your nose and exhale gently through your mouth. don't over do it, spend about a minute or so doing this twice a day. Your smell is going to come back slowly not suddenly. It's a marathon not a sprint, this takes time and it will be hard to notice improvements day by day. but the fact that you can smell anything is proof that your nerves still work. But just like other parts of your body, it will take some time for the cells to fully repair themselves.
Thank you for giving hope.

I'm really happy to hear that as well!
When this symptom of a SARS-CoV2 infection was first described, no one new for sure if it was permanent or temporary. The studies out of Harvard were encouraging since they found no evidence of neuronal injury or bulbar atrophy. The assumption that the senses would normalize when the support cells healed was congruent with anecdotal reports of a transient loss.
However, with a lot of people on this channel reporting prolonged anosmia, parosmia and phantosmia, I was a little concerned that delayed rejuvenation of the glial cells would lead to eventual neuronal damage and possible permanent loss. Your case is very encouraging that, even after months of positive symptoms, recovery is still possible. Really appreciate you sharing! I'm sure it will be very encouraging for others looking for answers!!
Stay well.

Any updates?
@@MaliEndz As of today, 2-8-21 I still do not have complete taste or smell. However, I have been getting my taste back slightly and very slowly but it's still not 100% maybe 50-60% at best.
As for my smell, also not 100%. I can slightly smell things up close but if there was a fire in the house, I'd probably see the smoke first before I could smell it, sucks.
I would say smell up close is about 50-60% also but smell far away and foul smells, I'm at maybe 45% for smells far away and like 30% for foul smells, don't mind that part too much because when I'm changing my new baby's diapers, I wont be able to smell it lol but I prefer to be back to normal either way.
I've been taking Vitamin D3, Zinc, vitamin B, and C. Magnesium but not as consistently as I should be, hard to get into that routine everyday for me.
Next step is going to be to the ENT Dr. To see if He/she has any recommendations and more emphasis on taking vitamins more frequently.
At least I got a little bit of both back but I had Covid since January 1st and it's the 8th of Feb. so hopefully the end of this month it might be a little better because it's been pretty annoying so far.
@@MaliEndz Also forgot to add, my nose has been extremely dry throughout the process and probably a big reason my smell and taste aren't 100% yet, in my opinion.
The inside feels like sandpaper more often than not and like I'm congested but the airways are completely open. Its weird, but that's starting to change slightly so I'm hoping after that feeling goes away, it'll mean my senses have completely returned.

Sorry that you're experiencing that! You could try Olfactory training. You can buy 4 essential oils: eucalyptus, cloves, rose, and lemon. Put 5-6 drops of each oil on water color paper and put the paper inside a brown or amber colored jar. Take short bursts of smell 2x/day for 20 seconds each time, for at least 4 months, and track the progress of your sense of smell. Hope this helps!

@@KatHope7 has it come back yet???? How long so far? I'm on day two praying it returns
@@kaspaking so far a week I’m kind of getting a smidge of taste and smell back. It’s not drastic but I can sort of smell lemon. I was recommended the airborne gummies and I believe it’s working for my immune system. I’ll pray that you get it back too!
It’s like being in the twilight zone because smell and taste are 40% of sensory input. For me, it’s caused nausea (from phantom smells) and a level of anxiety (something I don’t normally struggle with) due to not being able to smell the world around me.
What I’ve been using to gauge my sense of smell is numerous essential oils. I’ve been smelling them daily to 1. Stimulate my sense of smell and 2. Gauge if it’s getting any better. I could smell them a little stronger today, so I’m praying it’s a sign of recovery.
Huge thanks for this. I am in day 4 of this and it is very disconcerting. Your video helped put my mind at ease.

I'm hopeful my sense of taste and smell will return to normal sooner or later (preferably sooner). It's been 26 days since I first noticed I couldn't smell anything, and about as long since I noticed things didn't taste right... Every now and then I'll catch a whiff of something for a second or two. This video encouraged me that those short whiffs are a sign my sense of smell will return and hopefully it'll bring my sense of taste along with it. This is weird but also dangerous, especially not being able to smell.

I got sick 5 times since January 2020 (with some sort of a respiratory tract infection I mean) and all 5 COVID tests came back negative which I find hard to believe. Because I also did strep tests for at least 1 of those instances that also came back negative. This time I did the at home test, 2 different brands, both gave me a very quick and clear positive result. I also blew up with fever for 3 days, the worst was the middle day, I hit 102°F at the highest reading.

My wife always called me a bloodhound because of how sensitive and heightened my sense of smell always was, she said it was my superpower LOL. I could smell food burning on the stove before it even started to burn 😆. Oh well... Looks like the lab workers in Wuhan and the NIH had different plans for me, to take my superpower away. I am eating less which is probably a good thing, I feel like there's no reason to eat if I can't taste the food. Weird.

@@ChanelGloe I have been using essential oils since October. I sniff them every night but so far it hasn’t helped.
I got SARS-COV2 on Christmas Day and I’m just now getting my smell and taste back.
I couldn’t taste for a month in March and now 10 months later I have had this foul taste for everything and it has been this way ever since
same thing happened to me and my friend. I believe the foul tasting phase is a good thing cause your brain is trying to fix your smell.
Interesting that ace2 is in the path of smell. I had heard of this symptom early on, and it it quickly came to my mind that it may be more than coincidence that anosmia is a common side effect of zinc deficiency, and zinc may be an effective treatment for covid19, especially when combined with a zinc ionaphore. Just my hypothesis, but I take zinc/copper supplements, and use zinc lozenges, and also use quercetin, which is a zinc ionaphore as preventive measures.
be careful with taking too much of anything. Your body can become resistant to things taken in too much quantity or dosage.
My sense of smell and taste were immaculate before this. Could differentiate undertones, mid tones and key tones. Now I’m lucky if I even smell the Key tones and it’s been 4 months and I’m honestly so depressed. I am so inconsolable about this. My memory was also immaculate and some people may not know this but the area of your brain responsible for smell and memory are the same so my memory is also hot garbage now. My recall is atrocious. I am in a state of morose. I just can’t. I don’t know if it will ever go back to how it was. I feel like a shell of myself.
