Loss of taste buds

[Remyan]

Has anyone experienced total loss of taste while on Piqray and fulvestrant? Can you ever get your taste buds back?

I don't know how similar Piqray and Ibrance are, but I've been on Ibrance for almost 3 years and have had problems with sense of taste, particularly sweet. Savory foods are better but not great. For some reason, it comes and goes - sometimes I literally can't taste anything, sometimes I can. I've been taking 50mg zinc daily for about a year and it seems to help. Forget a jelly donut, I'd kill to be able to taste a strawberry! So many foods have natural sugars in them - fruit obviously,, carrots, milk, other veggies - that just taste flat and odd.
