sleepybrew Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 i got covid last thanksgiving. wasn't too bad to deal with but i lost taste and smell. haven't tasted a thing since. this past weekend i was up north camping, upper molar started throbbing. was a long few days. i typically carry percs or hydros in case i have a kidney stone while away. not this time. suffered sunday to tuesday morning. this tooth had been fixed years ago. dentist is friend from school, so he was honest and did not want to root canal and waste my money. so he removed it. then came the strange part. last night i finally felt like eating. holy shit i tasted everything. chicken , rice , green beans were deee licious. now this morning english muffin with peanut butter. tastes awesome. i really doubt the tooth was the cause but it may have shocked my system back. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the same thing going on . Did the root canal yesterday. Can be some wicked pain. Suffered for a few days and then went in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nascarmike Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I got a dental implant on a upper mollar a couple of years ago. They told me right after to not blow my nose for 2 weeks at least because it was so close to the sinus cavity. After it healed, I suddenly stopped having nosebleeds, which I had been getting for years at least 4to5 days a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member poopooforme Posted September 9, 2022 Gold Member Share Posted September 9, 2022 My taste still isn't the same but only on certain things. Used to love cottage cheese. Tastes funky as shit now. Can't explain it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't explain it. can't believe you said that . i love or used to love breakstones in the little cup. recently could not eat it. tasted strange and i'm already funny about dairy products and temps so i don't eat it.
