What Charlie Webby wouldn’t give to be able to taste chocolate again - or a mango, or pizza ... or anything all.
It’s been two years, one month and six days since the 31-year-old has had her sense of taste.
She was living in England with husband Tom when Covid-19 hit. Both contracted the virus in March 2020.
“I became a little unwell with a mild cold and bad body aches, but it only lasted a couple of days,” Webby said.

Right there with you going on 2 year and 3 months. Smell and taste is important and a bit scary to not have. I cry a little sometimes but I tell myself it could be worse.

1 year and 2 months. Everybody said that it would return after a year but still hasn't. Cannot taste anything and don't feel like eating much anymore which lead to intense weight loss almost close to being underweight!!!

For me almost 2 years in December it will be 2 years I can smell things but it’s not what they really smell to others or not something I feel like I know and smelled before, I feel like my nose created new smell for things. People tell me to be patient and wait because it will comeback but they really don’t feel how I feel it’s horrible I tried so muchh things but there is no point I don’t want to give up but I feel like I’m giving up 😭😭

Exactly the same for me it’s going on over a year so far. I’m really sorry, I know how it feels, you get used to it but sometimes you really do feel like crying bc it truly is like losing a special part of life. I hope you got your senses back by now, best wishes
it had been 2 years and I cant taste or smell. just living like crazy
Pre and pro biotics are the most researched thing I've seen for treating this.

No taste or smell fo a year and six months. Always searching fo flavor satisfaction. Gaining weight looking but not finding satisfaction. This is awful. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
I too can’t smell anything. I too am eating way more looking for satisfaction. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
