ZERO TASTE AFTER PAXLOVID COVID

[oznaf]

I had Covid back in September 2022. I am pretty healthy at 71 and had my shots. First time to get it and it was pretty intense. I was given Paxlovid and afte 2 weeks I felt better however my taste was zero with little smell. I went through the holdups with no taste and come March I got it again out in SAT so I stayed in my hotel for 5 days. I shad not taste or smell prior to getting it again so I didn’t go the Paxlovid but stayed and extra 5 days in the Marriott hotel and rented a car to drive back 1700 miles by myself from San Antonio to Amelia Island Fl. so I didn’t risk infections someone on the plane. Tested positive on the trip at each hotel I stayed at but felt better when I got home 4 days later.

Now here I am at 10 months next week 27 lbs lighter and still no taste. You know its hard to explain when you can’t taste and rely on texture (pork rinds,granola,cucumbers,pretzels,fried foods)which I never eat) to satisfy a meal. We just celebrated our 50th with our 6 granddaughters in OBX and my sons had the food catered to which it was upsetting not to enjoy fresh seafood.

Anyway,I am eating oranges,lemons and ginger as I was told to try to get my taste back. Hopefully it comes back by years end because its not something I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

Thanks for hearing me out.

STAY SAFE,STAY WELL,STAY SMILING!!!
