I didn't realize you got hit too. Grrrrrrr. Not you!!!! My taste and smell are almost back. It was pretty erratic. I had it for the first week, but then lost them completely for over a week, and then they've gradually started returning. I was eating such bland basic food that it didn't really matter, but in a past post I wrote of my complete joy when I tasted my first partial flavor - a strawberry. Yum.
Stay on the mend!! (pun)
Yeah, it definitely taught me to appreciate smell! Haha! It makes all the food taste sooo much better. Last three days I notice more and more 'subtler' smells coming through again but I'm still not there. My mom told me she lost her smell for a YEAR once, also after 'a flu', and she still vividly remembers walking past a fruit stall and smelling apples... For the first time in a YEAR she noticed a smell... Whoa.
Anyway. Get better <3 I definitely have not had it as bad as you, losing the smell was the worst part of it all :D
C'mon... what was your first smell memory?? If you don't have one, walk by a fruit stall and ask for strawberries and apples. Seems to be the remedy.
