Hi, I have had many weird and disabling symptoms for 6 years being at first diagnosed CFS but recently changed to FND. I was living like a 30 year old and in the space of a few months changed into a 90 year old !!My sense of taste has been affected since the Start, sweet things taste sour and vice versa savoury food can taste metallic, meat feels like I am eating twigs bananas feel like Wet cardboard. Plain water tastes sickly sweet as does the humble Rich Tea biscuit.
Anybody else having a similar experience?

Hi, I was diagnosed in 2019 with FND and I noticed a change with smell as well as taste. most of the time my taste buds are not working very well but its the smells that get me , we drink coffee and I don't get the same smell as I used to I get a lot of fishy smells which make me retch as I don't like fish. Food tastes of nothing really I just eat to live. I have mentioned this to the neurologist and GP but have had no input about it , its just something you have to adapt and live with. good luck for the future. kevin
