I'm gonna smell this whole world after I'll get my smell back!
Aug 2021 - I'm healthy now and living fullest of my life.
Sameeeee and eat like I've never eaten before 💔
@@unknown-uy4oj exactly!!
@@uditjoshimusic any improvement??
@@unknown-uy4oj Nope :( I'm healthy now but can't smell anything. Not even Deodorants!!
Have you felt that things around you stink in really weird was.But I still can taste perfectly and I can smell things but they also stink
i never knew how important smell was until i lost it, life feels so bland now
Have you got your sense of smell back? I just lost mine 2 days ago, and I suspect I may have contracted the virus.
@@andrewmochu6445 no, but mine has only been gone for about 50 hours so far. I started experiencing COVID symptoms last Tuesday morning, and lost my smell and taste Friday evening. my partner tested positive so I definitely have it. I hope you don't have it, or that you recover quickly if you do!
@@TuMadre6995 Thank you. Probably, I should take a test. From the comments herein, it seems the most common symptom of the disease is lost sense of smell and taste. So far, my taste is fine. Only smell has been affected. Plus, one of my eye keeps turning red. I'm wishing you & your partner quick recovery.
@@andrewmochu6445 it's so interesting that your lack of smell hasn't impacted your ability to taste, that's quite lucky :) thank you so much for your well wishes! much appreciated. best of luck to you!
@@IncidentReported I can imagine how horrible it can be staying for 4 months without being able to smell normally. I hope it won't take that long for me. Wishing you quick recovery & all the best.
I will never take taste and smell for granted again. 😔
Right
Hey it’s me me dw we got this 😩
You have them back now?
@@kobimansaray I do yes
well at least i can eat my green beans without being grossed out
I lost my sense of taste a week a go and it's not a good experience, it's like eating water again and again. But now thanks GOD ❤️ i got it back 😇. To those whose experiencing this now I'll pray for all of you, just be patient and don't panic 😊
Hey search for Dr Ehiszhisz on UA-cam,I regain my sense of taste and smell back 💯 thanks to him,he will cure you too"
God didn’t give your smell back .
Life only comes from life.
Nothing comes from nothing.
@@TooBnooBtooB He said thank God he got it back. He never said "thank God for giving it back to me"
So this just happened to me I lost my sense of taste two days ago. When do you think I’ll get it back?
Smell and taste are super underrated.....after COVID I’m gonna be happy to smell a cow farm when I drive by it
Did you get it back yet?
@@russtaylor9183 yep! Got it back 7-10 days later
@@drewbeedoobedo8795 what way did it come back was it when u woke up one day or just out of nowhere??
@@paultabb7491 I believe I just slowly got it back. I woke up like everyday and smelled a candle and ground some coffee to see if I got it back lol but it was def gradual
@@drewbeedoobedo8795 damn well I’m glad to hear that! I’m currently going without smell or taste and I’m literally eating food for what itS for most times can’t even be bothered since I can’t taste it
I ve been through this situation for 12 days and it was so scary. I could not smell any thing, from perfumes to farts lol even food tasted like mud but I could tell between the sweet and salt. I had no other symptoms. But actually and since 4 days I can smell again. No worries I think and pray that this virus would end soon. I had a mild case and know I see the value of nutrition and eating clean and exercising these habits are my only addiction in life. If you are reading this and feeling scared, know that you will be fine soon :))
Same for me but I dont got it back yet, has been lost for 4 days only
Same over here bro. I was sick for 2 days, but after that I didn’t experiece any symptoms except for the loss of smell which I still a have now (day 5). ‘Glad’ to hear that more people experience this, does kind of take the edge of for me :) Good health to you all🙏🏽
I've been without taste and smell for 12 days. I tested positive and that has been the only symptoms. I feel 100 percent besides ......hope it comes back soon!
I wanna thank you for your comment cause I was freaking out because I didn’t know what to do because this is exactly what I am experiencing right now and this made me feel much better
@@coreyagre what medicine did you take?
If anyone wants to hear anything positive I lost mine a week ago and it’s almost completely back
really? any updates?
fuck it’s been 7 days i can’t smell or taste shit
@@andersoni.7472 i heard it takes a lot longer than that or some shit but it's annoying as fuck i feel u
@@goofball7206 ahh jeez i just wanna taste a burger again ya know?
I did need to hear that, thank you.
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 😁
Thank you :'(( gives me hope, I cant smell or taste a thing, 2nd week after covid. Makes me sad. Ill never take it for granted ever again
my update: 1 month after covid. Taste is back 80%, smell 20% only. It will take some time. However I strated running again and feel great physically :))
@@avd4063 Good for you, hope you stay safe and well! I'm still at home, got covid and feeling sorry for myself 😉 Since 3 days in the 0% taste and smell phase....
@@remkojerphanion4686 Thanks my friend!! zero smell and taste is a very odd sensation, quite inhibiting. Takes the colors and variation out of life. But it's also an eye opener on our dependance on these senses which we use unconsciously. I love to cook and I could not determine if my food was any good 😁 wish you a quick recovery. Heal through nature's remedies. Garlic, ginger, lemon, curcuma, vit c, propolis etc. yummy stuff
@@avd4063 And thank you for your advice!
I’m never taking my senses for granted again! This sucks so much, I don’t even wanna eat anymore... 😕
I feel your pain!
Be patient and don't loose hope my dear. This is my 7th day and my smell is getting back slowly and my taste also. I was so happy I could smell ginger and garlic today . Let's just be positive ❤️
Does smell come first cause I can smell more then I can taste
Mine came back after 4 weeks.
Same
I just wanna taste and smell again lord please take this virus away
Have you gotten it back yet? When I had Covid, I lost my taste and smell for a few days and it came back little by little. I really hope you got it back.
@@katiegilfillan8727 no I haven’t it’s been gone for a while now😩😩
@tim smith thanks
@@lifewithkay3011 Keep eating healthy foods, exercise your nose with smelling different things, and drink turmeric and black pepper teas. You will get it back I promise.
@@lifewithkay3011 how are you doing
Best way I could describe eating without my sense of taste is like eating in black and white 😭😭
So pepper? Nasty 😭
Yes or like eating something blank lol 🤦🏻♀️
Everything taste like water. Theres nothing there
And every liquid tastes like water
Relax that’s nothing if your bones hurt and start coughing it’s over my cousin walked into the hospital with those symptoms and never made it out rip Bryan .
I too thought I will lose my sense of smell and taste forever, but it came back all of a sudden after one week. I know a lot of you are worried like I was. All I can say is don't lose hope guys, it should come back soon.
did you get it back? I got mine back with help of Dr. Iyhere on UA-cam
I haven't got it back after two years. 😕
It’s been since October 2021 and I have regained about 60/70% of my sense of smell and taste. It’s still life experiences to lack the full capacity of these senses.
This is the worst part of covid is not being able to smell or taste.
Well, my uncle got sick on May and he's been using oxygen since then, so, I'm not sure anosmia is the worst part of it.
Lol no. Some of us actually got really sick. Some people even died so...
Have you got your smell and taste back
Oh mate if you start coughing and bones hurt don’t even go to the hospital my cousin went in with those symptoms and never made it out the hospital rip Bryan
i agree i cant smell and taste anything, its the worst!!
Just wanted to spread some encouragement and hope. I totally lost my sense of smell and taste and it was terrifying, I was so scared I'd never get it back. On day 4 my smell started coming back (faintly) and today on day 8 my taste has come back. Neither are at 100% yet but literally every day gets better. Hang in there guys it will be okay!
Thank you so much, i’m on my day 3 of no smell and taste, and since food and cooking is my passion, it’s like a hell to me:(( I just eat bits of everytning, but i can’t get the satisfaction, i will be sooo happy when it comes back!
@@madarapsite you're welcome! It's going to take a while before it's back at 100% (I'm not there yet at all, my smell is about 50-60% and taste is about 20%) but don't lose hope and try not to focus on it! I drove myself crazy looking up articles that freaked me out. One thing I did 2x a day was breathe in steam from hot water and that helped a lot!
Thank you!!!
@@emilybryant8461 it's been more then a month for me my taste came back but still can't smell
Your taste is coming back really fast your going to be better in no time! Im not 100% back since mid July but its true it gets better by the day
I love this comment section. I lost my sense of smell and taste last week and it’s been real depressing not having any motivation to eat. The thought of not retaining my sense of smell and taste back gives me anxiety but after reading all of your comments, I’m gonna hope for the best. We all got this! :)
How are you now?
@@cigdembasturk7219
He died
You alive?
Yeeeeees! I can't get myself to eat anything anymore and it's only been 4 days, because I just hate it and get bored while eating :( damn i miss being to taste and smell my food :(
I don't think he's dead guys.
I can't believe I've found my way to this video 😩 I experienced other symptoms before I lost my taste and smell. I feel so depressed and lost 😞 I pray whoever has lost their sense of taste and smell regains it back!!! Xoxo
How long did it take for it to come back
im just the same. I had all the other symptoms first tested positive over a week ago and since about 2 days I can't taste or smell anything...
Its pretty depressing
Did you smell and taste come back?
Anyone that completely regained smell and taste in a week is so lucky.
I swear
@Tony Stark yes! I believe the vintage folk are stronger haha. So happy to hear that. I hope you got your grandmas genes and recovery quickly too.
Oh mate if your bones start hurting and coughing it’s over, my cousin went to the hospital and never walked out rip Bryan
Relax that’s nothing if your bones hurt and start coughing it’s over my cousin walked into the hospital with those symptoms and never made it out rip Bryan .
@Tony Stark do you both have covid?
This is so uplifting. Gives me hope. I'm a trained chef and can do nothing without my sense of smell. Thank you for this and all the commentary.
How are you now
:( I hope you got better. That is awful, especially as a chef.
Me as well I own a restaurant and I have a lot riding on this place tell me yours came back
Yeah did your sense of smell ever come back? I just lost mine.
As an update for anyone wondering… I just got my smell back. Finally after 10 days.
I was having an anxiety since the day I lost my sense of smell. I distanced myself to everyone, afraid that I contracted COVID 19😭. December 3, that was when I completely lost my smell. It was lost completely that I couldn't even smell strong perfumes, including alcohols. It's my sixth day, I was reviewing for my midterm when I suddenly smelled a weird smell. I first tried to smell an alcohol, then I CAN smell it finally. I couldn't believe it so I tried with a lotion, tooth paste, soap, even feminine wash and ketchup😭 And I can smell all of that. I am so happy. I hope that I can fully regain my sense of smeeeeell. It was a long week of anxiety attacks😭 I hope it wouldn't happen to anyone, it was really hard. Thank God😇
Did you get tested?
hey, was loss of smell your only symptom? or did more symptoms appear after ?
Hi i also lost my smell i can't smoke anymore i feel different taste when i smoke which is very annoying smell and bad can u please help tell did u had same problem
@@stefanstana457 true
Hi did u get ur smell
I had covid in early August 2021 and was one of the unlucky long-haulers suffering months of anosmia. Literally couldn’t smell or taste anything for the first 4-6 weeks. And then it has been a slow recovery with ups and downs. But I want to give everyone some hope your smell WILL come back eventually. In my case 4 months. It was a SLOW recovery but it does come back. Today I feel like My smell is about 90% recovered from where it was before covid
Do you feel it is now 100%?
that is encouraging thanks! I'm day 8 and can only smell essential oils right up against my nose.
Don’t worry y’all, I lost my smell and taste. It comes back gradually. Be patient!
I have lost my smell and taste about 2 days ago. I'm fine but I can't taste or smell anything and it's really annoying. Could it be covid?
@@frenkykukaj 99% Chance it is you should quarantine. I’m in the same situation this is day two for me on no taste or smell
How long did it take?
@@isaacmeehan67 about 3 weeks
Kid XO I’m on 5 weeks:(
It is really depressing to not being able to smell anything for the past 3 days.. I just realise how important it is to feel the smell... without smell even if I'm hungry I don't feel like eating any food.. feeling very low
I have started feeling the smell since yesterday lil by lil. Feeling really thankful for being able to smell things around
@@revatisugumaran I’m glad for you!! It can really be depressing not to enjoy the food or smell stuff like we once used to. I’m almost 2 weeks after I lost my senses of smell and taste and I’m going insaneee
@@user-dk6un8sh6z hi I havent got tested for covid really. One day fever then four days of severe body pain,dry cold n cough, head ache with no smell but could feel the taste to an extent.. I had the kabasura kudineer for 7 days and arsenic album for 3days. Now I'm all good. Just taking pepper turmeric, Ginger garlic in regular diet
@@marialbacontreras7212 please do not worry.. for some it takes 5days to regain the smell n taste and for some it takes even longer.. stay positive and don't mind much about this.. just believe and say yourself that you are fine .. your subconscious mind trust what you believes and will surely help you be normal soon. My wishes
Me too
I never thought I would want to smell or taste so bad. I can’t wait to be able to again
Me too!!!
any updates ?
I still can’t taste or smell and it’s horrible
When I get it back I’m going to beast all the food in my kitchen
Stram inhalation helps a lot ... Try it for 2-3 times a day
It’s been a week and few days since I lost mine. I’m devastated. I’ll never take being able to smell for granted ever again.
Have you got it back ? Just lost mine :(
Day 5 and i thought i might lost weight but its the opposite. i keep eating because i can never feel satisfied.
😂😂
Omg I said the same thing, it makes me eat more bc I never feel satisfied !
@@yogeshkalal7779 lol it’s terrible!
@@trinitystaste4141 just got it back after 2 weeks 😂 it comes and goes randomly still
@@Julia-uh4gr Oh good ! I still can’t smell but I have this weird smell stuck in my nose, did this happen to you ?
Just letting everyone know I got my smell back after 5 days. Thank God. I hope everyone get their senses back too
@Chris Longden no same it’s been 6 months and still haven’t gotten mine back
My sense of smell (and taste) returned after one week of symptoms. Trust me, get your zinc! The first day of zinc dosing I could smell better.
Thank you for the tip. I'll try that asap
Liquid zinc is best
I have been taking Zinc since day 1 when I tested positive (9 days ago), and nothing.
I lost my sense of smell completely on April 30th while battling Covid. Basically I couldn't smell anything. Zero Scent. No matter how hard I breathe in or put something close to my nose.. nothing. This obviously made everything I tasted become bland or horrible. I decided to pick 4 things to smell for the week - 2 scents I hate, and 2 I love. Every day I would smell these 4 things multiple times throughout the day. Finally today on May 5th, I am starting to smell again. One of the scents I hate was the one I smelled first. And shortly after, started to smell the rest of the scents.
In case anyone is wondering - the 4 scents were:
Rubbing Alcohol - I hate
An anti-fungal cream I used in the past for ringworm - I hate (I smelled this first)
Strawberry Jam - I love
Eucalyptus Spearmint - I love.
Food tastes normal already even though my smell is weak, but I expect it to get back to full strength eventually.
Hope this helps. I will check in periodically to update everyone.
I thought losing my vision or hearing would be the scariest things to happen, but losing my taste is now a part of the list.
I agree with you, this is what I'm going through I'm on day 6
I can't see much without glasses and my hearing wasn't the greatest and now I can't smell at all and my taste has also been affected. I can't win 🤦♀️🤣
i never could’ve predicted just how detrimental not having taste/smell is. i haven’t had taste/smell for over three weeks now, and at this point i’d be grateful to taste even 1% of the things i eat
have your sense of taste and smell come back?
MY TASTE & SMELL HAS FULLY RECOVERED AFTER 2weeks OF WORRY AND ANXIETY TO NEVER BE NORMAL- DONT WORRY STAY POSITIVE YOU WILL ALL RECOVER 🙏🏽 (Side note I did develop an outer ear infection that’s causing a weird ringing in my right ear & I just left the dr with good news about that as week) DONT PANIC GUYS PRAYER & PATIENCE
Thank you for your kind words. It’s so weird how smell whets your appetite and when you can’t smell you don’t want to eat( I could lose a few lbs! ) Thankful my Covid has not been terribly bad.
Today 1 year 1 month over still I don't get back smell and taste 😪😔😒
@@Surajsujju did you get your smell back yet?
@@TheOnlyWayIsJesus no bro 😭😭 no smell no taste
@@Surajsujju turmeric seems to be helping me a little bit. 1000 mg a day. Hope it comes back for you eventually. I'm at about 10% now and I'm on day 9... it's frustrating. Will pray you get it back and me too. Hang in there.
I have dealt with my loss of smell in two batches...one for six months and the other for five months. I know how depressing it can be to endure the loss of one of your senses. My best advice is to remain patient. My loss of smell was tied to allergies and inflammation as well so although my nerves were repairing, the odorant molecules could not make it to where they needed to go due to being blocked on the way.
I have since recovered my sense of smell and I can honestly say I will never take it for granted again. Don't let your mind bring you down when you go day after day being let down that you can't smell the things you once enjoyed. Just like working out, your sense doesn't come back or improve immediately. Everything is a gradual process. Follow the instructions from your doctor and eventually you will start to notice a small scent, then those moments will become more frequent until one day you wake up and realize you can smell coffee and the world around you.
Keep focused on healing and healing will come.
Yes I lost mine last week.. Now I am almost 90% back to tasting and smelling. Each day i practice smelling my favorite scents and imagine the smell. That has helped a lot! Hang in there. Each day it gets better :)
I took Zinc which was recommended vitamin D and C as well. I regained my sense of taste and smell after 5 days. I took hot showers and jumped rope regularly during this time to work up a good sweat since I wasn't able to go to the gym. Idk if this works or not but this was my routine during this period and I was able to fully recover. Hope this helps and I wish you all well in your recovery process.
Exertion is not recommended.
Glad that helped you!~ I have been sweating through my clothes and sheets every night involuntarily ... still no taste or smell much. It's WEIRD .... I look forward to hitting the gym again after I recover and getting my super human strength back.
This is first time in my life I’m enjoying salads! Well... textures of them
Oh, same here! I usually don't eat salads at all, but when I lost my sense of smell, although everything is tasteless now, I can finally enjoy and explore some new textures :D
Get well soon! ♡
😂 did you get your taste and smell back
Salads actually taste pretty good in general especially with some of that olive Garden salad dressing, I'm finally able to enjoy eating raw garlic and raw onions for the first time in my life.
@@Simon_Cow said no one ever
are your senses back?
I am a General practitioner and i can truly say this is one of the most illuminating lecture i have seen!! Thanks sir!! Greeting from Iraq
Just want to give everyone some hope. Because I was freaking out not being able to smell until a few days ago. IT WILL come back, trust me. For me it came back on the third week. It randomly came back and it was very faint at first. And every day it improves about 5%. Im probably at 20% atm, which isn't much but it's DEFINITELY better than 0. Atleast I know it's coming back and getting better. Please hang in there! I used to cry and have panick attacks not being able to smell. It gets better folks!
did u do anything to get the smell back.... i am panicking and currently on day 5 with no sense of smell and i have covid but thats my only symptom... Hope to get it back soon.
@@linasltn9878 All i did was take vitamin c, 2000mg and zinc 60mg. Loss of smell is actually caused by the virus depleting zinc from your body. I didnt do any olfactory training, i found that more frustrating because you're trying to smell something but u cant so it made my panicking and anxiety worse. I would advise against doing that. I would say to just stay patient, take your zinc and wait it out. It WILL come back trust me,i was in your exact position last week
Med Life perfect. Thank you so much!!!
@Dan Vig i had zero smell, couldnt smell anything to the point that i was cooking something and went away and it started smoking my kitchen. I couldnt smell anything, it wasnt until i saw the smoke that i ran and took care of the situation. So beginning of my third week is when i started smelling things faintly, and now its getting better day by day. Im in the end of my 3rd week. It will come back randomly and automatically.
@Dan Vig you're already much better off, i think your recovery will be very quick. Hang in there
This feels strange I’m already blind in one eye so losing 2 more senses is really messing with me I hope it come backs soon everyone be strong we’ll all get through this together don’t let this virus defeat us
Same for my grandpa, hopefully he didn’t catch what I have! (Idk if I have COVID yet but I’ve lost my sense of smell)
I can totally relate to you, I also have amblyopia (completely blurry vision in left eye from birth) and losing sense of smell and taste is very depressing. I am feeling incomplete. I can't even sleep just thinking all the time how will I live my life without these senses🥺 I am 19 still and this situation is driving me crazy.

@@shyannaballard4483 yeah completely
You said WEEKS! It’s been 3 days and I’m going insane 😳😭😭😭

How are you now Matthew?
@@dsgamingmore8212 actually ALOT better!
I can smell now and taste now! Not 100% maybe like 40% but I’m really happy it’s coming back! I’ve been taking Zinc daily and that’s what seemed to really help me. The only thing is the Fatigue is REAL I’m Always tired.
But other then slowly getting better.
Be patient, it comes back! For me it took me 3 weeks, it's so hard but trust me just wait and it'll come back.
For me..smell is coming and going...what is that?
Thanks for sharing on this important topic! One way to try to get smell back is through 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 is helpful for people!
They say you never know the true value of something you've got till it's gone :''))
I feel like a movie sound that is muted 😩
That’s the best way to describe it, tbh.

How are you now
I Just lost my sense of smell yesterday its a bizarre experience. I was like "this can't be happening no way" hopefully this is temporary I'm at age of 21
+
This happened to me a month ago as well. It’s a gradual process and I was worried too. It will come back just at the mean time I’ll say use vicks nasal spray and once every day try sniffing different odorants (perfumes, shampoo, essential oils). That really helped
@@abdulhamidali1842 thank you! I can feel some kind of an echo when I smell strong things like coffee or perfume.
Me too...
How was it it has cleared
i have been in this situation for 7 days i am 20 years old...it was so scary...i cant small anything nor taste any food...i had my sense gradually on the 8th day and i was able to taste some food...dont worry God is in control ... just have a positive mindset that you will be ok...try to take ginger tea or lemon juice frequently...
Yeah I drank lots of ginger tea too! I felt it was helpful
@Dan Vig I'm glad they all came back. I started to taste and smell after 1 week of quarantine. It was a slow gradual process I think. My taste of bitterness like coffee came back the latest. Now I can taste coffee. But I feel my smell might be still obsured alightly. The biggest difference is from the charcoal body wash I use. It doesn't smell like charcoal anymore.

@Dan Vig i have gotten my sense of smell and taste back.....
@@awumbesolomon3517 how?
@Dan Vig completely recovered
Most of the comments are so encouraging and heartwarming even though most of them are 1 yr ago and i am going through this now. I am surprised again by God’s ability that gives us full sensors to enjoy life fully. When our body gets damaged He created in a way to recover! Praise the Lord! I fully trust Him and i can get better soon. God bless everybody who wrote encouragement for others here!
I loss my sense of smell and taste last week, I was so down and afraid. But now after a week I got it back 100%. ❤️ I just followed my doctor advice, double dose the vitamin C (2000mg/day), drink 3L of water a day (measure it) and I add the steam inhalation, after 3 days of doing that I regained my taste and smell a bit and I just continued doing that and now it’s all back to normal. I’m just so happy 😇. To those who experienced the same you’ll be okay soon just eat healthy foods, take those advices and rest as many as you can. 😇🤍 cheer up!
how many times a day u diod steam inhalation and what u added in the water ?
I just want to smell the top of my sons head 🥺🥺🥺🥺
I really hope you will be able to do that again because that is just the saddest thing I've read :(. We will all recover. The world will.
So does Joe Biden 😂 but I’m sorry :( I hope by now it’s back

I promise!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I am at the third days and my sense of smell doesen't come back again! But my taste seems improved a Little bit
That’s what happened to me. Lost my taste and smell for 10 days, but it started coming back little by little. We all have to pray and stay strong faith that god will heal us🙏🏽
I’m glad that you god your taste and smell back. God bless you! :)

Been 5 months and it's not back yet
I'm on day 14 of being diagnosed with Covid (12-28-21) I'm going to give you all a little summary of what I went through, to hopefully help you out.
week 1-Day 1: Sore throat develops
week 2: Sore throat more severe, my lymph nodes on my neck are swollen, more than they've ever been!
week 3, --Day 15: Sore throat subsiding, now cold symptoms take over; runny nose, congestion,
Day 16: More nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose...I have COMPLETELY lost my sense of taste and smell! I mean, its completely gone!! (Don't Panic)
Day 17:--Body aches, my bones feel tired, i feel weak, have fever, and cold symptoms still
Day 18; Same as Day 17
Day 19: Same as day 18
Day 20: Extremely tired! Feel exhausted, i cant even go shopping at Wal mart, I fell asleep in my car in the parking lot at Walmart for an hour! Just drove home, feel really tired
Day 21: Have slightly more energy, still have fever, cold symptoms--I Test Positive for Covid !!!
Day 22: Feel like the cold symptoms are subsiding, I no longer have a fever!
Day 23: The end of the cold symptoms are near, feel much better, still have raspy throat, slight cough, partial sense of smell returning
Day 24: Same as day 23
Day 25-29: Getting back to normal, no more cold symptoms, smell and taste are getting better!
Day 30:--Almost completely back to normal, I have about 70% of my smell and taste senses back. Very slight cough, I have a small spot in the back of my throat that still "irritates" when i drink something hot, but definitely 90% better, and also glad I came through this now! I should be immune to Covid now :)
Ya'll hang in there! Its basically a bad cold/flu. It will pass! Praise the Lord, I'm very thankful that my taste and smell have mostly returned, I just love food!
For the last 3 weeks, I drank hot tea with lemon and honey daily, ate citrus fruits, took Vitamins with high Vitamin C potency. Hope this helps, God Bless you all!
Really a very good explanation. God bless you.
This is exactly what has been happening to me. Thank you for posting this as I was starting to feel depressed.
@@brittanycoronilla1646 You'll get through it ! Press on...and Merry Christmas 🎅 !
All my covid symptoms are gone after day 7 except loss of smell and taste. I'd rather put up with all the other symptoms I had then not be able to taste my food. 😵😝
Search for Dr ehisz on UA-cam,he will help you
Had Covid and symptoms began 15 days ago. I went through a period where I couldn’t taste or smell at all. Today’s my first day where it feels like my taste and smell have been restored to 100%. There’s hope y’all! My personal regiment was a fish oil, vitamin D, and zinc pill every morning. Praying for everyone recovery
It's 3rd day now, what I did, is surrender to God and cry out that I am not able to fix this on my own. I open my life to Him so He can move in me. Then after singing worship today, I tried to smell eucalyptus scent, It's now starting to smell. Not that strong but I can smell a bit. And this kind of victory is worthy to praise God even more. If you can appreciate the small ones then He'll give you the big ones. Have faith in Jesus/Yeshua!
It's 9 weeks now, I can't smell, there had been about a 20 percent improvement since I was first diagnosed covid positive, I would like to hear from people who gained their sense of smell in long term and how was the progress during this period, the only comfort is to hear from people who is or has been through this experience. Thanks in advance ☺

did u get it back
I am missing my sense of smell so much that I can do anything to regain it...
But when I read these comments I realized it's not just me and this gave me hope and strength to cope with it.
I use my imagination of what the food supposed to taste like. I’ve learned to deal with it
Haha same

@Dan Vig Well for me it’s almost been a month
@Dan Vig it’s been 5 days already but now, my taste and smell is improving... i use vicks inhaler and it helps me a loooot!
It’s been a month and I still can’t smell or taste 100%
My taste and smell was screwed up for about 2.5 to 3 weeks after cov. It’s very freaky at first but it returns, just give it time. And zinc.
Going to washroom has been really easy because of anosmia
I know what you’re feeling. On my day 3, I lost my sense of smell and taste. It’s frustrating but I helped my brain in identifying different smells that I used to know. Before I smell it, i keep on repeating to myself what it is called and how it used to smell and taste. Chances are, you might not be able to smell or taste it at the beginning but you just have to repeat the process in the day for several days. On day 14, I finally git my sense of taste and smell back. All these things, I’ve done with prayers. And He helped me :). I’m pretty sure, you’ll regain yours. Just be patient :)
I lost mine and it started to come back on day 10. I ate and drank very healthy to aid and speed recovery. I drunk a lot naked juices( brand) ate healthy dishes like chicken biryani and drunk lemon/ginger tea.
How are you now? I'm on day 7 and still no taste or smell. On the few things I can smell like coffee I have to be right up next to it and after one or two sniffs its gone again.

@@TheVenusVisionAstrology well. I have periods where I think it’s KIND OF BACK. But honestly, not much progress IF ANY. Kinda worried at this point. Many people also have gone for months and still can’t properly smell or taste.
I can vaguely smell if something is sweet or spicy but it’s so minute that I think I’m making it up.
Everyone’s experience is different though. Hope we recover well! I’m used to it at this point but every time I eat it’s kinda like HI YA CANT SMELL STILL.
@@JohnnyPeraltaa well hopefully it comes back soon! How many days/weeks has it been for you? It seems like a lot of people start to get it back in 2 weeks-a month time. But like you said, there are some people where it takes longer.
Day 5 now, just woke up and nothing.
I remember watching this video 1 month ago thinking I would be back to normal. Sike... All I had was a few headaches and some fatigue for a couple of days. Then my smell completely vanished. No congestion, no stuffy nose. Just couldn't smell anything. Not even slightly. Biting into garlic, shoving essential oils into my nose, not a whiff. About 29 days in, I was able to smell certain strong essential oils like eucalyptus and lemon after days of nothing in sight. I could also start tasting things like chocolates, candies, peanut butter at about 1/4 or 1/2 intensity. However the smells come and go. In the mornings I wake up being unable to smell anything. Towards the evenings I can smell certain items. Meats I am unable to smell. I do have allergies and I notice that taking zyrtec helps me to smell earlier in the day. While I don't doubt that for most people recovery is pretty simple, it has been very complicated and not linear at all for me whatsoever. I'm writing this now as I'm unable to smell anything, yet yesterday night I was able to smell and taste my tomato soup at about 1/4 intensity. I'm totally bracing myself for permanent damage honestly. As far as I've seen, the people who recover in under 2-4 weeks never "fully" lost their smell to begin with, and were just congested. This is on another level. I'm certain my allergies and dry air and nose is interfering with my recovery. Not to mention that my "default" smell (when I can even smell at all) has changed to smell like a mixture of vanilla and baby powder.
I guess there really isn't any point in getting upset over it though. It's not like I can control how my body recovers or if it recovers at all. I wish things were different.

I feel like I have a perpetual stuffy, sensitive nose and for the past two weeks everything has a strange taste/smell like sour stale cardboard .. I can't even explain it. Back in September I had a phantosmia of cigarettes for about two weeks. I'm going to boost my zinc intake and see if things improve .. we just have to be patient with the process. Hope things get better for you soon, peace!

How are things for you now?
Second time around that I lose my sense of smell due to a covid infection. Last time it took 6-8 weeks to recover some decent level of taste and smell. Not sure how long it will take this time.
3 vaccines and still got this crap. I normally have a very very good sense of smell, and I got it back to my sense of normal after the first time, which took 3-4 months (subjective perception and memory of what very subtle scents I could pick up during my lifetime before the loss).
Still, I'm glad there are videos like this that give some decent understandable facts that leave me feeling hopeful.
Oh no three vac ,
Yeah, that was a pretty new feeling, no flu or cold had ever had that effect. Normally, you can't smell due to stuffy nose, but when your nose is clear, you breathe in and out with no problem but you just don't have any sense of smell... it's kind of disorienting and scary at first. I couldn't taste anything either, but could tell the difference between salty and sweet, that's sort of weird, I wish there was an explanation for that aspect as well.
For reference: October 20 - complete and total loss of smell, November 4 - smell is partially back, November 14 - smell is almost completely back, total recovery of smell happened within the week after that.
Completely agree! I hate when ppl claim that it’s just like losing your senses with a common cold. It’s totally different!
I‘m 21 and lost my smell too....it has been 5days...I‘m waking up everyday hoping to smell something to end this nightmare

@York Hunt I got it back 2 weeks after, but even until this day which is almost 2 months after covid smell/taste is not at 100 percent but it’s there. How are you doing?
I am going to smell the world and taste everything i possibly can when i get my senses back.
U get it back?
Hi All, I wanted to let you know that you are going to be okay. It does come back. When I lost both, taste and smell due to Covid I was looking for reassurance that it will come back and I was looking for comments like this. Please stay sane. It is very hard and my week without any smell and taste whatsoever was one of the worst in my life. It is coming back now slowly but surely. Still cannot smell everything or some stuff smell different than they used to but we will get there.
If you think that you will go crazy without doing anything, please try smell training and buy vitamins. It helped me to get through this. I knew that I am not passive but I am doing something about it. Lots of love for everyone.

@@marilynsaenzdeviteri6009 agree however even if this is your only symptom, it’s still awful to even think that you have Covid. Take care! It will be all okay x
This virus is so bizarre. I’m on day 6 of having symptoms and didn’t start losing taste and smell until day 3. My symptoms haven’t been too bad but it’s so weird not being able to taste or smell anything at all, especially since I haven’t had much of a stuffy/runny nose at all nor have I been very congested. I can’t even smell Vick’s Vaporub and I’m sure most of you know how strong that stuff can smell.
It’s just so different compared to any cold or flu I’ve had before, since with those illnesses I’d at least be able to taste a little bit if I blew and cleared out my nose enough. Absolutely nothing I can do about that with covid though no matter how much cold medicine or Kleenex I go through. Best of luck to anyone in recovery from covid (especially to those with severe symptoms), this virus is no joke.
That’s because this is a man made virus from China, Trump was right. This is biological warfare on the world. To help usher in a new world order
Were you able to regain your taste and smell? Same exact thing happened to me recently. I'm getting extremely anxious without my senses.

Most of the sense of taste actually comes from the sense of smell. Thats why when people get a stuffy nose they can’t taste their food.

It took quite a while into the infection for me to lose my sense of smell. I had a negative test early on when I first started feeling fatigue/body aches/headache. But when my smell went 5 days later I knew I needed to get another test! I'm on day 8 now and it sucks. I'm not really sick besides a very minor sniffle - the headache & fatigue were only on that first day. Very strange. I've been out 2-3 times a day running the dog, because there's nothing else to do but watch tv. Not being able to smell or taste just leaves you feeling WEIRD.
When did u start regaining your smell? I’m the same as u with not having to smell on around Day 5
This doctor spends a lot of time in the gym. He looks amazing. Nice to hear medical information from a doctor who appears healthy.
I'm on day two of the virus and was in utter shock when I tried to get a spoon full of vegetable soup down. Everyone has experienced loss of smell and taste with a cold or flu but I've never experienced it so completely. I mean, there is zero taste or smell. It's very bazaar.
I remember when I hated when my neighbor was cooking, it smelled like dead rat soup with garlic, I was Always angry, but now I would do anything to be able to smell it again. I would cry tears if I could and I would tell her that I love her.
