I had this for exactly one year. Was horrible from day one to day 365. All of the sudden, one night, it was GONE! one minute from the next basically. No change in between.
If you still have it. It can go away by the snap of a finger. Don’t lose hope
I’ve had for a year and half and hope it goes away. Ranch dressing,cola yogurt any aged milk product I can drink milk but any cheese and sour cream makes me wanna throw up also it’s not just women like the video said idk where they got that from
I’m really hoping that happens to me. It’s almost been 2 years for me. I long for my sense of smell to come back.
Did you do anything before it happened?
I've been dealing with this for nearly two months now. Its affecting everything in my life and I'm miserable. Its the most horrendous thing.. 😭
4 months for me now. I hope it gets better. Never realized how important senses are until they’re distorted. I almost wish I couldn’t smell at all
I’ve had this since January after covid.. it’s terrible started off as bleach smell. Then evolved into a garlic smell. Things later smelled like smoked paprika but very bad.
I’ve had it for 8 months.
Same here. Since September in 2021. I’ve had covid three times as well 😢
Has it come back yet? It’s been almost 2 years for me, I’m losing hope.
my brother gave me covid and after i recovered, my smell was so distorted i only drank water for nearly a month,, and i had gotten so weak that i couldn’t wake up for school or anything,,, for months i blamed my brother for doing this to me, and i was so angry at my family for not understanding this distortion and saying that i’m “overreacting”,,, now i just feel numb and wish that one day i’ll wake up and it’s gone
how are you now?
Ok I had enough I’m dealing with this for almost a year now and i want to cry that the food I eat taste horrible and nasty for example chicken meat fish rice eggs and chips and drinks such has coke taste like shirt and gasoline I just want my life to be normal when covid don’t exist so I can enjoy eating my favourite foods again 😭😭
I'm at the same point, that damn COVID, and I hate the word parosmia...it's crazy and sad how something like this virus can just disrupt a person's life...I know that if my taste and smell comes back normal..I will cry like a baby... and never take smell and taste for granted
Has it returned for you yet?
@@sketchywav7741 not yet, everything still tastes not normal or as I can say how I remember
I suffer from this and its horrible.. I have had covid-19 two times now. The first time I never experienced this issue. Months after having covid-19 a second time I started smelling this horrible smell. Its been 8 months and I still having this odd smell pop up out of no where. For me it always smells the same when it happens... it smells like a dead body. I had a neighbor pass away years ago he lived in the apartment below me. I'll never forget that horrific smell. I'm constantly asking others do you smell that horrible smell? They say no... At first I thought is it my body putting off this odor.. lol. Nope it's not... I use Vicksburg vapor rub and put a small amount right under my nose when it happens. This does help me... hey I'd rather smell anything than a dead body smell. Lol not fun!
Essential oil therapy is supposed to help, I'd recommend looking into it. I have a relatively mild case but it's annoying.
I have exactly the same thing after the 2nd time having covid. It happens out of nowhere and it's EXTREMELY ANNOYING
I recovered from covid about a week ago and for a few days I could smell bothing, then suddenly a few days ago suddenly my smell was back, but everything smelt awful, I can bairly breathe in without retching. I've hardly eaten for days. Hopefully it doesn't last long cause I can hardly funcion.
I'm on month 9, I never knew how much my sense of smell mattered until it all got messed up. My diet has really changed. I almost cried because my favorite food is the only thing that smells like it should, it was awesome. But it horrible that I get that excited over smelling something right.
Edit October 2022: Month 11. No improvement. I'm starting to think it's permanent. I have since got covid again, but with no effect to my smell. The first time is was just a light headache and loss of smell. The second time, severe headache, dizzyness, weakness, couldn't stay awake, ear buzzing, and it felt like acid on my face and in my head. Also had coughing.
I had covid twice as well, and let me tell you, it resets the whole parosmia process. The first time I had covid was in November 2021 and I didn't get my normal sense of smell back until July 2022. What sucks is that I only had my smell back for about 2 weeks until I got covid for the second time. The symptoms weren't as bad, and I was back to normal in about 4 days, but the parosmia returned and now I'm basically back to square one. Stay strong. I read somewhere that using a tongue scrapper helps, also try getting real zinc supplements.
@@Agownsrs2 Sounds like a plan! It's been almost a year now (november 27th will mark the day) so I'm getting kinda desperate.
I’ve always gotten this after getting sick since I was a teenager. Usually anything with vinegar smells disgusting. Hot sauce, BBQ sauce especially ketchup, but literally one day to another it’s just gone. I used to be told it’s from antibiotics but there’s been plenty of times where I haven’t used antibiotics and I still get it.
does toothpaste taste bad to you too?
@@deibpein9920 no, mostly just condiments and certain foods
@@luisdelrio1212 mine happened just recently (around 4 days ago) and i have no idea how it happened. i just realized that shampoos, soaps, perfumes, smelled so bad, i thought i was crazy. Then I almost throw up while using toothpaste. With foods, I get the same taste and smell but not as strong as with toothpaste and soaps.
man i had this in 2021 but it didint last long it lasted like 2 weeks then it went away, now i have it again, this sucks. imma reply back once it’s gone
Got this again last time it took 5 mon5hs to recover now how long will it take
I'm on day four of COVID. I'm a 41 male and healthy in general. It's my first time getting it. I had a fever and chills the first two days, and now I just have a bad sinus cold with Parosmia. It's all I am researching right now as the smell of rotten eggs is making me gag! Has anyone had luck with those fragrances to sniff (smell training) or Gabapentin? One thing I can add is that I've always had this talent since I was a kid, where I can stick my tongue in my throat easily. My dentist and ENT said they never saw anyone else who can do this. It helps clearing out my sinuses, etc. But this time when I put my tongue back by my nasal passages ( I can block my nasal breathing with my tongue), it's super cut up feeling and raw. Normally its very smooth. But this is worse than any previous sinus infection. So this cut up feeling is obviously a part of it I am thinking.
For me onions and garlic, chocolate and peanut butter. It's starting to come back little by little from smell training and taking alpha lipoic acid. It's weird but even pee and poop smell weird. Not complaining about that though. But still it throws me off.
help me i am also having this problem, everything smells like gasoline after covid and some smells are muted like poop…
Here is all I know about parosmia tastes/smells in my own experience. For those who are curious and don't know let me tell you:
RAW garlic and onion both have the smell of gasoline. The taste is kinda like eating gasoline but I still taste the sweetness from onions. If I however push through the unpleasant taste I can actually briefly taste the real raw onion. COOKED garlic and onion smell of burnt rubber or something similar, taste remains same as in raw taste test.
RAW lettuce and sweet peppers/paprika smell and taste like old wooden antique furniture (yeah I can't put it any other way). COOKED sweet peppers/paprika has the same burnt rubber taste and smell as onions and garlic.
RAW red meat tastes bland and kinda normal. COOKED Has the burnt rubber touch once again.
COOKED EGGS have a sulfuric smell and taste, it literally feels like eating solid farts. Very unpleasant.
Lastly coffee, it tastes and smells like liquid burnt rubber, I can't smell the fresh coffee anymore, even if I pushed through it and drank a lot at once. A side note also, coffee and pee/poo all share the same smell.
I had covid in November and lost smell and taste. Then it slowly returned. Now in April lots of things are starting to smell really bad.. Best to describe it as rotten hard shell tacos that have been sitting around for months.. Onions, hamburger, propane, even smells all the same and other things and its getting worse!
same with me. this is weird. my favorite foods are gross. sugar foods only taste good
How long until it started to slowly return
@@batman7401 I had covid in October 2021. I can't smell . Fecal and pot roast smell the same
Mine started in about October ‘21, it’s not as severe now, but still quite debilitating.😢. I am laying in my room right now with my T-shirt up over my nose as my family has dinner, I’m so hungry but can’t find anything right now in the house that I can eat or that is even a little bit tempting. The weird thing is that some things seem to come and go, I was finally able to eat sandwiches a while back, I made one today and it was disgusting!😢 Sometimes I can eat steak with just salt & pepper on it, but sometimes I absolutely can’t even come near it.
Worst part is that I don’t think people truly even remotely understand this, even my family looks at me weird and kind of disgusted when I’m covering my face, like I’m being dramatic, that’s such a sad and lonely feeling. Being hungry and thinking of what you want to eat and everything that pops in to your head is some thing you know you can’t have, especially when you are out and about, sometimes it becomes such an overwhelming sadness.
I just want this gone.😡
(One of my 3 daughters has it too, and my son.)
It really seems like when I think about everything that the worst things used to be my favorite things, it seems like the only things I can eat are bad for me, (sugars) at least if I was losing some weight I guess I wouldn’t feel as bad, but I haven’t lost or gained a pound😣
In a guy and this has happened to me twice already now again it SUCKS def makes you wanna end it all 😅 we humans are so weak damn it
Coffee brewing smells like burnt soured milk but it doesn't taste like that!! The same exact thing happened to one of my daughters!! I also can't stand the smell of real butter & eggs cooking!! The eggs & butter cooking smell like burnt rubber & eggs yuck!!
Exactly what I have, I used to love garlic, eggs, bacon. Now even being in the sun smells funny. It all started after the second time I had Covid.
Brand new rubber shoes plastic gas used to smell good. It even stinks
Everything smells different or likes warm plastic to me. Things that should stink like gas smell sweet 🤷🏾♂️ I don't understand what's going on. I thought I was a lone and it's hard to explain it to people who don't have this problem
It's been a year since I got COVID but isopropyl alcohol still smells like alcohol...like the beverage.
Hard liquor smells like 91% isopropyl alcohol to me too. Particularly whiskey shots tastes terrible to me now. But for some reason, beer and vodka taste normal. Weird.
I wanted to join the group, but can't find it...
I like the taste and smell of coriander but after nowadays it smells and tastes like some kind of chemical
Have you considered herbal remedies? Dr Asuelimen herbal helped cure me
I suffered for months until I got a ganglion block. It went back to normal within 5 minutes of treatment
What did you suffer for you to go and get a ganglion block?
i had covid in november, lost smell, it came back and everything was ok until december 20th. i cant eat any meat, eggs, rice, strawberries, oranges, whatever doritos and wotsits are made out of and certain types of bread (eg. tiger bread). this is month 7 and there has been no change. i also cant eat vegetarian "meat" like tofu or quorn, it has the same smell and taste as real meat does
I’ve had this going on for 17 months so far😔

Hello, are you still dealing with parosmia???
@@donaldgolden3169 nope gladly I recovered last February :)
@@pauladiazbollain7240 Even tho I don't know you, I'm very HAPPY THAT YOU ARE NOT DEALING WITH THAT ANYMORE.. SO EVERYTHING TASTE HOW YOU REMEMBER AS IT WAS BEFORE THAT CRAP??
@@pauladiazbollain7240 I'm Happy for you, it's very encouraging that you can taste and smell as you remember how food tastes and smell before COVID
My symptoms are opposite. I had DV covid in Nov. Ever since, nothing really smells bad to me. Bathroom smells smell like fresh bread. It's not 'terrible' any longer to clean my cat's litter box. My taste is intact now. but sugar tasted like acid just after covid, and I couldn't stand coffee or chocolate. All smells are slightly muted now, whereas I was a "super smeller" prior to having covid.
Skunks on the side of the road smell like bbq to me 🤣 that’s the only “good” thing I smell. On the other hand coke tastes like a hand full of dirt
Try a ganglion block shots many people are having success with it

I'm 57 I got covid before they had gave it a name I'm tired all the time can't breathe right since walking across the yard gets me out of breathe. Doctor has diagnosed me with COPD. Everything smells like a sewer. Meat taste rancid instant mashed potatoes and yogurt taste like soap.
I have this been .I can drink water though. I ok with gas. Had it 2 years . If not more
Food is my major issue church last week did incense I just about past out. The thought of sweet candy cars bakery ice cream soda it's like a nightmare. My hubby brought home 4 pieces of perch one bite I was like omg no way this is making me ready to puke I threw it out. He made my favorite hb casserole nope I looked at it I like oh gross. I lost 12 pound in 3 weeks
I glad I drink lots of water . I sleep great no dizzy or throwing up. My hubby says boy you drink water what do you
Eat. I do 2 protein drinks I can handle that . But the smell grosses me out. I was told by Dr I can't tell you if it ever wi come back .it started one day I could stand the look or taste of meat and continued to everything
He comes home from work no dishes . And no food is used. I said I just can't this isn't good he said. I said you think I dont know that. Went to theater omg the popcorn smell grossed me out. They want tp send me a nutrition I said why I know what to eat I just can't. So my dr is working on some things at least the protein drink is something
It's happen to me.rotten smell.But I recover for 1 day and again started next day .What to used I don't know
I have this too... but EVERYTHING smells like old peanut butter& popcorn!
Eating feel like a chore. Not pleasure
Pop/Soda tastes bad. 👎
Well i had suffered covid infection twice.. Thou i hv recovered i feel strong smell of burning cigarette around me.. Most of the times pretty wierd n annoying too..
1 year and 4 months i had Parosmia, it was terrible😢
How did it feel when you finally recovered?
I've been suffering from parosmia for a year now. Food still taste good, but they smell horrible :(
I don't think you have parosmia so, when people have parosmia everything taste and smell horrible, and for an example if people lost their smell they will also lost their taste because the two are connected.
Not true, some things for me smell terrible but taste OK, and others don’t smell bad and are horrific tasting. Things also change, sometimes I think I’m getting better and then they get worse again.
If you don’t have this, you don’t get an opinion. No one truly understands that hasn’t had this.
@@kamieturpin1507 i've parosmia for almost 4 month now and i completely understand
@@vroomvroom6625 that what I've always thought, but since covid, my taste is mostly intact (other than cola tasting horrible), but my smell is altered. Nothing smells 'bad' to me anymore. Even things that should smell horrible, smell like freshly baked bread or sweets to me.
I got too and it's getting better the good part is I stop Getting burgers like big Mac burgers from in n out
Today my perfume smells bad. I’ve had covid 6 months ago. Is it possible parosmia developed after 6 months?
Did you get vaccinated recently?
@@To-MaaTo I’m suffering from same thing 🥲
weird. this is what I'm experiencing
Well this sucks
I am suffering from Parosmia since I year
Brother same! Any recovery?
@@RajatKapoor559 mujhe ab pyaaz or lahsun se badboo ati hai bus baki to thik ho gya
@@RajatKapoor559 what about you any recovery
@@Kartikaythakur bro it’s still there :(( it has been more than 6 months
Some? Research it. Millions.
Strawberries even taste funny
I tried to join this Facebook group but keeps stating ‘error’????
What annoys me is people complaining about pop (soda) smelling bad. That's a good thing, pop is awful for you.
I have a mild case of this with meat and a few other things, and now water tastes a little moldy which is annoying.
What annoys me is when people complain about other people's habits. When other people drinking soda irritates you, the problem is you. And only you.
Its pretty nasty but i just ask myself "what would oscar do" and munch out and complain in positive way...im like "this is the worst flavored food ever...could you pass me some more" 😂, guess im a true survivalist, gross is the new bussin imo 😅
Hi good morning everyone I'm Joel George from Canada. I was feeling covid 19 symptoms and I was on house arrest while indoor I was going through some pages on youtube and I saw Dr iyhere and ordered for his special remedy on covid-19 symptoms and I'm feeling upright
This is such bogus.
Lmao did you ever have covid? Its a very real thing
I like you bro, you get it, but it’s honestly a real thing man. Its so bizarre.
I had Covid in October and lost my taste and smell. Nothing has returned to normal, I can easily smell things that stink but have a difficult time smelling things that are good. I have to get very close to flowers or candles just to get a hint of the smell, and my taste buds are all out of whack. Nothing tastes the way it should. It isn't bogus, it's so very frustrating. A person has no idea how much they use both of those senses until they no longer work properly.
*millions of people affected with smell disorders because of covid* Twisted Mystic: “this is such bogus”
Everything smells rotten 😥 PLEASE HELP us
