I slipped into the darkest time of my life.
I had really disturbing thoughts that I’d rather not even type out.
Mine took 3+ weeks to come back, and coffee happened to come back “wrong” which lasted some extra weeks before resolving.
Like you, I’d be dealt a huge life blow if my taste were permanently gone / impacted.

I wish they could just drop the new vaccine this weekend. Hell, I’ll play guinea pig!
I had full anosmia in the past and have no desire to give this disease any advantages to making it permanent if / when next I get it.
