I can't even smell my farts
Same here and I have an 8 month old, my older kids have to tell me when he poops 🤦🏾
The smell of bleach or anything that has a strong scent, it smells it on everything, I cannot recognize the real smell of that specific thing, all I smell is that perfume that stays on my nose. I can only taste whether it sweet or sour. It's really frustrating and I have it for five months now.
The asthma medicine trials. What was the outcome? Did the medicine work at restoring sense of taste/smell?
3:56 He said it’s a good thing to smell sewage or a smoke smell because it means the nerve is repairing, I’ve been smelling a smoke smell shortly after finding out I lost my taste and smell, it’s not as strong as when I first got it (some time in last month, December) So does this mean my senses will come back when the smokey smell is gone? I can smell and taste things only like 2-10 btw
For about 5 days now, i can't taste and smell anything
@@robnation2475 How are things now?
I got Covid in September 2021. Main symptom was loss of taste and smell. I regained my smell in January but the problem that came with that is my smell has come back bad. Everything and I mean everything smells bad. Food, perfume even my toothpaste tastes bad cause of my bad smell. It’s such a daily torture. It’s not getting any better. The doctors I’ve consulted are also not giving any solutions that are working. If anyone has anything that works plz tell me.
Does the burnt orange thing work only for get back smell or does it even repair your bad smell. Essential oils,do they work ..? If so which ones exactly.
Please provide what solutions anyone knows to have worked on someone in my situation.
And I hope everyone who is going though what I’m going though recovers cause it’s a horrible way to live.
I want to find any of these, I have hope that my Mom will get her taste and smell back, it’s been a while, but I am still confident these solutions could work
Somebody should help me, i cant smell nor tase anything
My sense of taste is really diminished after COVID, my sense of smell came back to normal but not my taste. It's so weird, I can smell a steak but when I eat it it tastes really mild. Have been like this for almost 8 months.....
Yeah same for me. I lost my sense of taste and smell last July (2021). I just started to donate plasma and my sense of taste and smell seem to be getting slightly stronger. Smell outperforms taste just like you described though. Some days are better than others but at least the nasty distorted smells/taste phase has been gone for a couple of months! Alpha Lipoic Acid seems to have helped as well. 1 tablet 300MG daily so far.
Today I was able to smell/decipher the difference of 14 essential oils! (and without looking at the labels before sniffing them) I've had both anosmia and parosmia for the last 5 MONTHS! Yesterday I used a muscle stimulator/vibrator on my head, face and neck and I also took some Lysine... not sure if either of those helped but I wanted to share. This may not last beyond today or tomorrow but it's a start at least... I've also been using NasalCrom and fluticasone for about 3 months. ...and Alpha Lipoic Acid as well. Good luck!
3 weeks how has it been my smell is very very weak taste is there but not great . I am on ALA and benfitomine
I had this problem long ago before covid19 started since I had gallbladder surgery I was unable to breathing normal smell everything's else going through my nose 👃 and then tasted through my mouth 👄 made me throw out splitting coughing toxic poisoned killed my liver lung 🫁 metallic tasted 👎 bad breath food particle built up in the throat white stuffs came out after been sitting inside the throat in the back my nose 👃 👂 ears and throat ENT Dr did scan x-ray 📷 camera 📷 scooped look at swollen nose 👃 bleeding scape built up allergic reaction to pollens perfume colone lotion hair spray chemicals cleaners pollution air tonsil stones in the back of my nose 👃 throat what I breathing in and I tasted bad 👎 gasoline ⛽ everything's else
@@mysonjimmy1337 Could be related to your gut and/or the anesthesia as well! I'm pretty sure my gut is part of and adding to my taste/smell issues too.
@@Hannibhaal777Thanks, I've been taking Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) for 2 months now and I think it's working. 300mg a day or other day. (Bonus: My pre-Covid gut issues seem to be better as well which is a nice surprise!)
I can feel the smell but its not the original one.specially about perfume abd certain foods.cood drinks.
thank you for breaking this down because that's all I can taste: salty!, sweet and bitter.
but last year I don't know if I had covid but I lost my sense of taste and I didn't even have those sensations
It is very frustrating I had mine for almost a year but thanks to *dr nafuar* herbal medicine I got on UA-cam I’m now better. ua-cam.com/video/Pzk9Lf6j2pQ/v-deo.html
Yes same!
Me too, I'm glad to have an understanding as to why.
Same!!
You can even lose taste/smell over congestion or a sinus infection. Don't panic.
I have loss of taste and smell due to an auto immune disease which causes chronic mouth, nasal and eye dryness. It’s really horrible. Having pneumonia a few months back (I’ve never had Covid) finished off the little senses I had left. Will I ever get them back ?
That’s interesting because I feel like the bad of my throat and sinus is so dry and my taste and smell is suffering for it. It’s maddening. Covid for a week now but I just lost the taste in the last 2 days.
I had Covid months and months ago. Starting to only smell smoke. Even when there’s no smoke present. I was getting worried but apparently that means my sense of smell is healing! Finally
Is it better…?
Same thing happened with me. Food , toothpaste , everything smells bad
Is it the same for you…?
@@ndb4626 finally started getting it back. Now I get distinct smells that are what they actually smell like. Some things still smell like smoke tho. My cologne smells like smoke. This all came back within the last 2 weeks. Rapidly getting better. Finally.
I have the cold and flue many times in the past never affected my taste or smell ever! They created something in a lab and don’t know all the ramifications of the gain of function they worked on period.
That's my theory. ("You bastards!")
I agree, you never hear a doctor or anyone else who has even asked if the Covid-19 test with the long intrusive test stick or what area this test could actually be touching that could contribute to this. Jacked up in my opinion
🤣
Going on 4 weeks no taste or smell - I’m a fragrance enthusiast and can’t smell anything and I miss tasting my favorite foods 😔
Hey I’m here for you bro. One, good news is, it’s normal to not smell for a couple weeks, maybe even a little more. Two, it’s less common to not be able to smell for a couple months, and three, longest cases seem to be only a year. And if you already got Covid, the chances of you getting it and getting the same symptoms and side effects are low, because your body has now built up antibodies to fight off the infection, especially if you’re young. I’ve gone through the same thing my friend. Matter of fact, it’s been about 4 weeks for me, and I can only taste and smell about 90-95%, which is good, but I think I’m slowly getting the rest back. If you want my advice, what I did use a bottle of hot sauce, and febreze small space products. Chances are if you’re like me, your smell and taste never actually completely went away. I had to get really close to the hot sauce bottle and febreze small space products at first, and try my best to sniff. I could only smell a super tiny bit. I had read online that doing that helps create new pathways in your nose for your sense of smell to comeback. Now things are more back to normal. Idk if you’re religious, or maybe Christian, but I have some great healing prayers I can give you as well, and I also ask if I can pray for you to maybe make things better? Also, I’m still on the case, so I’ll report back to you with any more helpful tips I can give. I can only really tell you what worked for me lol. Also, has your sense of taste and smell gotten better after 2 weeks? I pray you’re still alive and kicking it 🙏🏽
@@datboi42 did you take any vitamins
@@alien-hs1zn not specifically for sense of smell or taste if that’s what you’re asking, I’ve just been taking my usual vitamins my mom gives me, I can ask her what the name of them are tomorrow and report back to you, but they’re really just for regular immune system support and health. Also, I’ve found some pretty seemingly helpful videos for sense of smell and taste that may be able to help you, I think I’m back to 100%, or at least 99%
I had covid back in February of this year, I started smelling everything as if someone had pooped infront of me, now I can't smell anything that has a foul smell. Things that smell good like perfumes and such all smell the same. The best way the describe it is a powdery, floral, chemical smell. Something's taste that way also. I feel completely out of touch and I just wish it would come back to normal.
I didn't want to explain it like that (poopy) but you nailed it on the head! I didn't test positive for COVID (tested just before and just after my smell/taste went bad) but your comment has convinced me that I had a false negative for one or both tests. I'm taking B12 in the way of Vitafusion 3000mcg gummy/chewables and basic Vitamin D, E and A. Trying to eat better too even though expensive veggies taste like nothing or weird.
I kinda relate to your experience...I do smell and recognize the perfume or so for a second but then I am back to smelling everything as they're the same
Please answer me I want to get back my smell and taste 😭
we all got the same pain any of yall got a solution tho im done complaining
Did it come back?
4 months for me now. Not as funky or distorted as it was around months 1 and 2 so hopefully getting better. Lost some weight at least ...and now I snack on small assorted yellow, orange and red sweet peppers because they are one of the few things that are "close" to their original flavor. I can smell a slight difference of 7 out of 14 essential oils now compared to a couple months ago. All 14 smelled the same (really bad) when I first got them. Turkey and stuffing was pretty foul for T-day...
Hi
I have the same problem. What did you do exactly to make it better
It’s been three months since my smell started coming back
But it came back bad
And still no improvement
@@ndb4626 Try taking Alpha Lipoic Acid. I take the "Source Naturals" brand. I usually take 1 tablet in the morning: 300MG (60 tablets per bottle). This has also improved my gut overall. I don't have a nasty distorted taste or smell issue any longer. I recently started to donate plasma and my sense of smell (and taste) seems to have improved even more (coincidence?) On the day after my 1st plasma donation I could smell the "air" outside. I forgot outdoor air even had a scent and it was fortunately pleasant as well. lol
Follow up interview…?
Results of the research of the second Dr. …?
Thanks for this info! I lost taste and smell a few weeks ago after COVID. I can taste salty and sweet, but that's it. I'm currently trying olfactory training with essential oils. Hope and pray it comes back.
did you get any better?
Not yet. It’s been about 4 weeks.
@@hepgeoff did you tested negative for covid?
I was positive for COVID, but I tested negative now and still have lost of taste and smell.
Hi, has your sense of smell & taste restored now?
I had Covid19 December 14th 2020, and I have yet to fully re-gain my smell and taste 😭 everything smells bad and taste horrible
same , idek what to do
Same here it's been over a year and four months for me.
Me as well...it's terrible
I pray that any of these can work, I’m confident that any solutions can work no matter how long it’s been
I thought I was the only the one
How do you explian losing taste/smell and it returns with in a short time. Then I lost it agian a week later, it came back after a day or two, then lost it agian?
This is all over a period of 3 weeks. I haven't heard this before.
You should definitely see an ENT
I almost believe that my Anosmia will be permanent until I meet with Dr Afua who cured me, now my smell and taste is 100% back. Visit his UA-cam channel : ua-cam.com/video/7vDbwM35qRs/v-deo.html
Same happened to me over the course of months though. I've been exposed several times, only tested positive once but maybe it's possible the exposure caused smell loss again without the sickness?
Same is happening to me now, I lost it, got it back and have lost it again... did you find anything helpful
Mine comes and goes as well. Very frustrating.
I dont have covid. I did have a cold and cough and lost total sense of smell and taste. Now and then a smell wafts by, and I can just about smell an inhaler. But that's all..cant taste food...its been like this for 3 weeks. Doctor gave me antibiotics and they havent helped. Never had this before...
If you lost or have distorted taste/smell try eating some small sweet peppers and let me know how they taste. (sweet not hot/chili peppers)
COVID attacks the SUS cells that support the nerve, not the nerve itself. Vitamin C and D3, and Omega 3, have helped as well as smell training with essential oils. 🙏🏼💕
I lost my taste and smell from Covid, and I started doing this, and my smell and taste came back within five days. My girlfriend caught it, and she regained hers back within 5 days as well.
What did you do to start getting your taste and smell back.
Started doing what exactly…?
WHAT. A. JERK. !
i never had good smell due to allergies but when i got covid some of my favorite foods now have no taste and taste like dirt
First off! I want help!! Can I be included in this trial????? I have had loss of taste and smell in the past (3 times) with regular colds that turned into sinus infections and recovery was full within a few weeks but this is definitely different for me in the since, that I'm getting bits and pieces but just not there yet.. Wednesday night i ate dinner(spicy tilapia)and had a drink( margs always give me a stuffed up nose) and in seconds after I got a sudden stuffy nose and boom! No taste or smell. Couple days I can somewhat smell things as if they are in the distance but nothing directly up close. Taste is on an ingredient basis but if I'm lucky to taste it at all its faint and unappealing. I can't eat. Been drinking broth that I can hardly taste either. Coffee is the most tasteful and even it's not the same.. i am doing the essential oils and literally smelling any and everything. This is just miserable and depressing as hell! Help us!!
Are you okay now? Could you smell and taste 100%?
I'm back after 2022, got COVID this week and lost my sense of smell 😢
Since last year July I lost my smell and taste due to covid so I'm now used to it
Lost smell n taste July 29, 2021 all test for covid were negative here it is 11/10/21 still without smell n taste this shit sucks... I heard a chiropractor can help.
Sorry to hear. I hope it gets better soon
I can only hope my chiropractor can help.
It's this same videos all over You Tube just different people.
I had covid ,lost my smell and taste from last year August and all now it don't comes back..
what Dr ogbebor herbal centre UA-cam channel did for me, is way out of this world ,i mean he sent a herbal medicine for me that cured me of parosmia ...Dr i am so grateful
Thanks Marie for recommending Dr iyaremoses on UA-cam he has cure me permanently from anosmia with herbal medication..
Thank you so much to both doctors about telling us the truth that any virus can cause loss of taste and smell. I had zooster virus flare in my brain twice in last 7 years which caused 2 mild strokes and loss of taste.First time my taste came back after 6 months but this time 7 months after the stroke I do not taste anything.
I m so upset saddened ....I don't feel like it's ever commin back
what was in that jar he put down?
Condoms maybe lol
OMG what a beautiful lady!
lel
I have not been able to smell or taste for a year and a half💕😞NonnaGrace 🐓
I have my sense of smell so does this include taste too?
Yes.
Could the fact that they used used an extremely long and intrusive instrument so far back up the nostril? I haven’t heard anyone mention this and what exact areas were targeted by this type of test. You would think this would have been discussed but haven’t heard one doctor that has even considered this..
Thanks Marie for recommending Dr iyaremoses on UA-cam he has cure me permanently from anosmia with herbal medication..
Thank you! I've been wondering about this as well. Also wondered if anything was on the Qtip straight out the gate. Strange that no one is discussing this. As children on into Adulthood we were taught don't stick anything in your ear or up your nose (Especially in or up too deep) or was that just common sense. But for this test it felt like they were trying to reach my brain. Luckily the second time they let me do the swiping but still wondered if something was on the Qtip.
@@ConcreteRose32 yes, there is. It’s microfiber’s that actually are showing to move when put under a microscope. They’ve basically poisoned everything we ingest especially our medications. This isn’t the great reset of our economy it’s a great reset of humanity.
Put coconut oil on the q tip. Rup in your nostrils. Then get rosemary oil, few drops, rub inside your nostrils. Breathe dip. After few minutes, put peppermint oil on the q tip, few drops. Rub it inside your nostrils. Do this 3 times a day for a week or so. Someone says that you it helps to break loose all the bad stuff that might clogged your sinuses.
Can we get back the sense of smell quickly for mild covid?
I tested negative for COVID, twice, just before and after mine went away. I've never had anosmia and/or parosmia like this in 40 years. Today I had the best day deciphering smells ...but it took 5 months.
I got covid yesterday and I still have my smell and taste but my mouth has a weird taste in it and I can kind of taste it even whilst eating. Anyone know how I can get rid of this weird taste because it makes eating certain foods not good.
everything tastes the same.. a terrible and bland taste. i dotn even want to eat anymore. everything tastes so awful.
Sniff anything strong. Bleach , perfume ,coffee. Retrain your senses.
Yeah retraining seems to work...but don't sniff bleach too hard!😵💫☠.
@@robnation2475 tried dog 💩and that didn’t seem to work as strong the smell that it lmao jk.. the only essential oil I have with me is (my fav) lavender.. and left the eucalyptus oil at work :( .. guess I’ll try coffee grounds.. anyhow I’m able to make out the lavender so I’m excited..
Don't sniff bleach. Even though you cant smell it it is harmful to inhale
I haven't had smell or taste in 2 yrs everything I eat taste like chemicals I've done so many things to regain it but nothing helps
Did you try vitamin A nasal spray?
@@sarahbrower2453 no but I will try
How many months or years do I have to wait for my sense of smell to come back?
That’s what I need to know… I had Covid back in December 2021 and I didn’t have any loss of smell or taste until March of 2022 and here it is June of 2022 and I still can’t taste or smell nothing at all
I'm wondering the same thing. 😥
I've read online that the average is between 1-6 months.
Please someone help me.i dont know what happened to me but my mom was admitted in covid hospital although she was not covid patient.but after visiting her and staying there ultimately i feel change in my taste and smell.but it was year ago.still i am not recovered.so whay should i try.can covid vaccine recover it or whag should i do
You should sniff orange peels, lemons, coffee, and other things and when you do, imagine the smell. Do this 3 times a day.
@@camillelafont76 Some guy on You Tube suggested cutting & grilling an orange & then putting brown sugar on the orange & eating it. He said it worked for him.
"There is no real evidence that anything works. You could try steroids but theres no evidence that works." And then she has the nerve to say "do you think this really is a problem?" NOOOO. REALLY? 🤦
Hi did you try herbal medicine, I got cured using the one I ordered from *dr nafuar* you should try it out.
ua-cam.com/video/Pzk9Lf6j2pQ/v-deo.html
I know! What the hell lady! I can’t smell or taste shit for for weeks now. And their are people who lost it for over a year now. Of course it’s a problem. This is so awful.
She was really a lousy interviewer. Someone should clue her in that acting and speaking like an airhead gets old faster than you do
Fucks up with this audio
is it just me or my sense of taste and smell comes and go like? in the morning i wouldn't be able to taste or smell anything then i can suddenly taste and smell again then it goes away again and repeats, its been like this for 3 days
Same is Happening with me
Same..how are you today
things smelled like rotten hamburger meat for a month and now things just dont smell the same and i can no longer enjoy my fave perfume or fave foods because they do not smell good at all!!
Weird isn't it? I just left some new comments (and old comments) What you're describing sounds "normally abnormal" in comparison. I went through the same thing. Everything is getting a little closer to normal for smell (but my cologne is still slightly off from what I remember). Taste is coming back but slower than smell. I haven't had the nasty distorted 💩 smells for 2 months or more. I'm positive that you'll be okay in time but it may take a few weeks or months. Alpha Lipoic Acid may help. Seems to have helped me... and my gut is oddly better too🤔. Good luck! (btw I lost mine last July, 2021)
@@robnation2475 thanks! yeah its been about 2 months since I've had that rotten hamburger smell, now a lot of things just smell off. Like i know cucumber melon lotion doesn't smell like that … LOL. but I was able to smell my candle burning for the first time the other day so I'm gonna look on the positive side. :)
@@brandeewyne1232 "Rotten hamburger" was a nice way of describing it :) Mine was something like that but more like a harsher chemical version of rotten hamburger... "a single, distinct, stinky scent" that I had never smelled/witnessed before which replaced all other "normally pleasant" smells.
Also, at one point I couldn't smell bleach or even gasoline. Don't try sniffing stuff like that BTW. I got dizzy one day after cleaning with bleach around the house. I finally realized what I had done to myself. 😵💫Oops! Sniffing an essential oils kit does seem to help. I bought a set of 14 and they all smelled the same (nasty) at first. After awhile I could smell half of them. Now I can smell all 14 but some days better/stronger than other days. It's a super weird process! I kept telling myself "Just wait for it". I found that small sweet peppers (red, yellow, orange) had an almost-normal, weak but pleasant taste (when nothing else did). You can get a mixed bag of them from Walmart for $3 to $4. 👀Look for bags that have more of the red peppers...(The red ones have more vitamin C and flavor) I'm still eating sweet peppers now (new habit). I put them up front on the center shelf with the bag open so I eat one every other time I open the door. Call me crazy🤪but I think they help!😀
@@robnation2475 def gonna try that !!!! yeah i was at work and all the sudden for like 3 weeks everything smelled like grey hamburger meat, like the meat that sat in the fridge too long and i dont work around food just jewelry. . i was gonna try the esential oils and spend the 35 bucks so im glad you mentioned that and i didnt waste my money . and the bleach thing i get! My 2 year old son turned the gas burner on and i didnt realize it and when my husband came home hours later he woke me up freaking out saying the house wreaked of gas! he probably saved our lives, thank god he got off work early that day!! this thing is not only annoying it can be super dangerous.....
Last thing! Consider asking for/request a vitamin D test next time you go to the doc. My doctor thought I was silly to request it but then later said "You were right! (I was 16 points below the normal low-range) He then gave me a monster prescription. That was actually about 2 years prior to Covid. Might have saved my own life now that I think about it🤔 (I got the idea from my older brother who had tested low for D) I now take a "Mega D-3 & K-2" combo capsule. Turns out that this is a good defense for Covid and other viruses. Sorry for "rambling on" but I've done so much research that I feel compelled to share.🙃
try the burn orange and sugar technique it actually works
How ot works?to burn orange?
@@shahidaman447 there’s many videos on UA-cam that shows you how to make it
Step 1 place orange on dry pan leave the peel on
Step 2 wait for the orange to burn on each side until it looks burnt on each side
Step 3 take the peel of and place the orange in a cup with some brown sugar and mash it up all together

@@christiemarceline5120 dude u lost ur taste and smell
I hear lot about smell what about taste
Yes smell and taste arw gone for me
.. very trippy.
The sharp pain I usually felt inside my ear was unbearable for me that I had to use herbal supplements from ua-cam.com/channels/b34y4rSXhRGlc3azGtyyvA.html on treating my Tinnitus condition and after using the supplements for several weeks the pain stops completely and I have being examining myself for months now without the pain coming back. I am completely cure from Tinnitus in using Dr madida medicine and my junior brother used Anosmia treatment from them too and he is cured also.
Smell gives you 80-90% of your taste
Vinegar and smell
I smell rose or flower smells
Don't you just love all the people who will comment for you to try their miracle cure of their snake oil, for this? Their comments come with all these taste/smell videos, and all they want to do is sell you something. Shame on them.
I had Covid but luckily I found Dr Fakenstein and now I'm a robot.
