Thank you so much Teasel, for the good idea.

I will share some experiences, also for other covid-survivers :
We have some loss of smell and taste, me more severely, I can sense only pleasant tastes or scents, and very weakly only. Doesn't get better than that yet.
When I still had symptoms, it was totally gone, dead, nada...
Now since a week or so only I have a phantome-smell in my nose, almost constantly.
The first day I wanted to call the fire department, I thought my house is burning somewhere, including some chemicals or rubber.
That was awful, but now the rubber-chemical part is gone and it smells nice like a fire place in the room with some very 'dark', burnt-wood aromas, elegant and mysterious. 🧛
I read it's a good sign, some new supporting things (don't know translation) in the nose are growing, but are not complete, so they are transmitting wrong or mixed up signals to the brain.

I'll write something for people with allergies :
Maybe a good reason to test baked oranges finally (testing is always a little risk).
We're allergic to raw ones, but some allergens are heat-sensitive, the ones of oranges are.
But then I would have to bake them completely in the oven or microwave, so that the proteins in every inch get denatured, so their shape changes and the immune system cannot recognise them anymore.
Guess the effect on the sense of taste would be less than from roasting over the fire, but still...
I couldn't peel it before it is baked, because of the allergens,
so I'll go to the biological food store, yummy... 🍊
I must think of a way to cut into the skin before baking, without something coming on my hands or in the nose, will find a solution.
[Edit : maybe with vinyl gloves under running water.]

Good suggestion, teasel. Also, a zinc deficiency will cause someone to lose taste. Covid uses the body's zinc stores. So, it makes sense that zinc supplementation might restore taste.

Thanks for the information Randall,

That is interesting, Teasel. My yoga teacher got it and lost her sense of smell but got in back in a few weeks. You can get it from vaccinated people who shed. The company even talks about this. The VC gives people who take it a super high viral lode so what is supposed to help us really is making the problem much worse. Study it if you don't believe me.

Thanks Ami Anne, 🌼
didn't know that yet, makes me a bit worried, because just today I read, that the average time of natural immunity after covid is only 16 months (no idea if that's a lie), depending on different factors like age, health, immune system... so mine could be shorter (?)

I do hope, that the second time will be less dangerous, because the immune system will recognise something at least, even if not everything anymore - which is as far as I know the cause of the waning immunity - less antibodies left ? Or is it not their amount but what they are still able to recognise ?

PS Although it was made in a lab and I don't trust men and I do trust God but it is still just the flu and 99 plus % of people are fine

We had already more than enough zinc in our food plus supplements, checked it, thanks Randall.

About trying to eat grilled oranges to regain taste and smell :
We tried it in the oven because of the allergies (see above post), no allergic reactions, 🍊😀🍊
because we had them in the oven long enough,
medium heat, with the skin, as a whole, cut in the skin, so they won't explode (?)

It tastes I guess not like roasted over an open flame, but very nice and I think it worked so far.
While we are eating them, we always smell a lot on every little piece, leave them in the mouth long.
During and after eating I have a stronger phantome smell in the nose than usually after other meals, which is a good sign.
I get this burnt open fire smell now mostly only after eating, so not as often as before.

I'm very sorry about your sad health situation.
That sounds really not easy...😔

Did you read the idea from Teasel almost at the top of this page in this thread, about the burnt oranges ?

I have two more ideas for you, and maybe others would too, if you would open an own thread here in this section only for your health situation (?)
In the Lexxigramming section nobody would expect something like that, here more people would see it...

My first idea is about another kind of vitamin C, which helped us recover, gain a bit weight and improve our immune system,
I know something about how to gain weight while really ill, been there long ago, not only after covid...

and everybody could talk there about your taste and smell problems (leads to underweight).

About the vitamin - start reading in the link at the top until before IQ posted, he started another subject
(I have visual problems as well, so I'm explaining where to read, should I write in capital letters ?).

And in the link you can see Belage talking about vitamin D...

Both are important for the immune system and for recovery from Covid.

Actually you need a complete and systematic plan about your nutrition
in order to gain weight and health again.
Also your immune system needs nutrition, only then your body can heal.

We were very thin and malnourished due to an illness long ago,
so I know what I'm talking about...
Your body could be in a vicious circle at the moment, 💙
additionally because of the taste problem, we lost our appetite from that.
In your nose certain systems were partly destroyed,
that has to grow back, because you cannot taste normally without smelling properly.

My guess is that folic acid could help, it is necessary for building new cells and supports your iron level.

And if the body is so underweight and malnourished,
it will concentrate on the vital life functions first
and will not even have the strength nor the necessary nutrients
to let the destroyed parts of that system in the nose
or the immune system be rebuilt.

The best could maybe be to get a medical dietitian
and/or ask everybody here in an own thread for advice...(?)

Hey Lexx,

I came by the website to write in my KNOW TWO ARE ALIKE page and saw that you hadn't been around for a while. I got worried and Randall showed me that you posted here. Just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you. I just looked at your chart for last year starting in January and can see that you've been going through it! I'm so sorry, yet at the same time I can see what a bad-ass you are, too. You survived! You've survived some serious stuff. So, just wanted to say hello and keep fighting, keep getting better. Everyone here who has been through COVID, please keep being well.

In total I can smell and taste like pleasant smells/tastes maybe 60% of the normal strength, unpleasant smells/tastes only 10 or 20% of the strength.
Much better than the other way round.
But I ruin the meals for others sometimes now when I use spices...😁
