Believe it or not, your lungs are six weeks old - and your taste buds just ten days!

I really havent noticed that, except for the fact I can breathe better, which enhances smell to me in some way. After 6 weeks I was jogging twice as far and running twice as fast

Ive been curious about taste and smell, Ive read so many threads of people saying their sense of smell has returned in just days or weeks.

Its been 6 weeks + for me and I think my sense of taste and smell has maybe improved some, but not very much.

Im wondering if it gets better or if everybody is just exaggerating about it.

Ive only had 1/2 an analog in the past 4 days and I can REALLY smell the smoke on my clothes. Time for a new wardrobe I do believe.

@KellsBell
During the first few weeks, several times my taste buds went on strike for a few hours, sometimes a few days. Seems to be fairly normal.

Also, it can happen that you suddenly had enough of your favourite liquid. Then you can't stand it any more. Probably the same thing that can happen with your favourite sweets or drinks or whatever.

And wanted to add that: It is easier to read postings that are not entirely written in italics. Also, no need to colour every instance of taste or taste buds. If you write understandable sentences, chances are excellent that people figure out what you mean. I should think that many don't read posts that look like that, though.

@Alex, I'm sorry about the posting, I did not realize that it was in italics as it was one of my very first posts, and I have absolutely no idea why the taste and buds came up in RED other than when I was searching for anyone else with this problem it highlited them in red for me, probably because I searched using those words. I did NOT color them myself, in my own defense, I thought they were understandable sentences regardless of style or color, you obviously understood it, and thank you very much for your input. In the future I will be very careful of what my post looks like as not to look so ignorantand be more likely to be understood. Have a great day, and thanks again.

No prob, KellsBell, just wanted to point it out because I too occasionally simply skip over badly formated (or written) postings, just because there is so much to read here.

maybe its in my head. but this world is very stinky i just realized....
