| I have had the same problem for the past 2 years. I had a bad virus and it killed the nerves for the sense of taste and smell. It is called ANOSMIS. It is very rare that these senses come back. |
|
| I went on line and looked up'anosmis" and they mention smell but said nothing about taste.Do you think I still have hope? Ihad a stroke two months ago and I have been tasteless since.All I can taste is sweet and sourer |

| Ususally when you can't smell you can't taste either. I can only taste sweet and sour too. Do you still have your sense of "smell"??? |
|
| I still have smell but no taste. |

| Has your doctor said anything about it coming back, since you had a stroke maybe it is just a matter of time and it will come back. |

| Do you have silver fillings in your teeth. If so they will release mercury and mercury will destroy nerve cells. |

| Here is a link that may be helpful to you. Since I have lost my sense of smell and taste I only eat foods that I remember the taste of, that seems to help me. |

| lost my very acute sense of smell after fall to back of skull/concussion (oddly, 'taste' ok!). Dr. had me try zinc & vit. B injections. For whatever reason, I now most of it has come back but not nearly as good as before. I believe 'taste' is the term for sweet,sour, bitter (& another that escapes me ... ? salty) on our tongue & I never lost that but yes, flavor which I think is a combination of taste & smell was lost for me during that time. Can you smell things ok yet though? We don't realize how precious these things are until we lose them! |
