Even though Ive told her about 3 times now that Covid has killed my taste buds.

I don't think everyone understands exactly what that means >_>. It's kind of rubbing insult on the injury. Cause in my head Im like "IT TASTE LIKE NOTHING, LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE!" lol.

Do I just start pretending stuff tastes good so I don't have to keep having the same conversation? >_>. It's tiring to keep bringing up that I can't taste the things while she's looking for confirmation that I enjoy it.

I didn't think this would be a hard concept for people to grasp lol. She's a good person tho, so I don't take it to heart. It's just slightly irritating

How long has it been gone?

Do you think you'll ever be able to taste anything again in your life?

Lol. I actually made a topic saying I was a prophet for having this username before Covid was a thing. No one was amused :(

It's only been like 2 weeks for me. Im hopeful. I get glimpses of it coming back when I eat certain stuff. If it doesn't, I feel mentally prepared for it. Despite this topic maybe making it seem like Im more bothered than I am. I just think people not grasping having no taste buds is hitting me weird. It's such a simple concept.

She is a nice person, but this is just part of our family kind of being conversational airheads lol. We let everything go, so we never feel the pressure of needing to constantly remember everything to not step on toes. I actually love that. It's just working against me here while I try to come to terms with this >_<. I wouldn't change who she is tho and Im sure Ive done the same to her without realizing it.

My niece said something about orange peels. That's a real thing? As soon as she said tiktok, my mind kind of just moved on lol.

I dunno if it's that extreme. I guess I could eat some shit for science, if people really need me.

Lol true. Ill do that. But nothing wrong with venting. Like Ive said, Im not actually holding it against her. This is more about it being weird to me that people can't immediately grasp the concept of not tasting things.

Bleh. Sorry to hear your symptoms are lingering.

We got covid around the same time and my sense of taste is back to almost 100% already. I went with spicy stuff during the peak of it simply because I could taste it better than anything else. Can you at least lean into certain foods so you taste something?

Dr. Pepper did it for me. I guess those 23 flavors kickstarted my taste buds.

Im oddly at peace with not tasting things. I mean, Id love for it to come back. But Im planning my future around the idea that it won't just to be prepared.

But yeah, I actually did kind of taste the chicken sandwich and fries last night. Also, I drink those energy juice V8s and I can taste like 60% of those.

Im glad you got your taste back. Even though I feel fine, I wouldn't wish losing taste forever on anyone. Im kind of thrown off myself by how ok I am with it. I might just be on a post-Covid high. Where Im just happy to have other stuff back.

I cook for myself. It's weird not knowing if I actually made good food or not now.
