Foxyblue Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Hey everyone, Over the past few months I have noticed foods not tasting quite the way they used to. This may be strange but I wasn't sure if anyone else experienced it. For example: I bought a Twix bar the other day and it just didn't pack the same punch it usually does. And the pizza I always buy tastes....off. It is difficult to convey exactly what I mean. I can sum it up by saying it feels like I have lost some of my taste. Anyone have any comments? I appreciate anything.B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyMouse Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Not likely related to pots at all--more likely: some injury or insult to the nerve that handles smell, which is where all the "punch" as well as subtleties of taste come from. Most common cause is a viral infection that injures the olfactory nerve, according to my ENT and my Neuro. If this is a recent, sudden change, it's something to see your doctor immediately about. Steroids can halt progression of the loss--which I wish I had known months ago. Too late for me.nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxyblue Posted June 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Thanks for the comments. Still, I think it is weird that we have both experienced this. I'll tak to my Doc. Not that that is promising or anything. I'm sure I'll get the usual blank stare and shrug.B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
