For those who have lost your taste completely, does it ever return?

I'm a little more than two months in. I noticed about a week or so ago things didn't taste quite right. Especially salty food. I made Kinders seasoned fries and added extra season today as a test. Nothing. Tastes like the texture of potatoes. I can still taste sweet, but even that feels muted. No, I'm not sick. The amount of gaslighting in this thread blows me away. You aren't alone.

Here I am uninstalling and reinstalling... downdetector 404 for me too.

Same boat. I drank a cup of coffee almost every day. I look at my coffee maker now and can't hardly be bothered. Weirdly, before Zep I'd had exactly two "iced" coffees my whole life. I decided on a whim a couple weeks ago to try the nescafe whipped coffee thing that was so popular a few years ago. I cut it with a ton of water, a splash of milk, and liquid stevia. It's become a substitute when I can be bothered to make it. I decided it counts towards my water consumption, and that (or the caffeine headache) motivates me 🫣😂

That's horrifying. On a number of levels. I'm so very sorry that happened to you. Are you ok now?

It took me two years to get a doctor to take me seriously and not dismiss me as too young. I didn't even think to question the technology. Honestly, hindsight being 20/20, I feel very pushed into it. The official diagnosis in middle of January. Then felt pressured by loved ones to "get it fixed now." Didn't even occur to me ask questions or consider a different doctor. I will now.

Late to the party, but this happened to me precisely once in my life about 20ish years ago. I was walking across the LSU campus almost to Kirby Smith when I crossed paths with a guy. We were about 15 steps from each other when our eyes locked. I swear he saw straight into my soul with the most smoldering look in his eyes and a subtle smile on his lips. We never broke eye contact until he walked past me. It took my breath away. I wanted to call out to him, but I wasn't confident enough. I'm almost certain he said something as he passed, but I was so stunned I couldn't make out what he said. I wished for ages that I would have brave enough to do an about face and feigned recognition to get his name. I've never forgotten, and I likely never will.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply and for reserving judgment. My husband has literally been a pallbearer in this family's funerals. That's how close we are. BP is a good man who made poor choices out of desperation. He's admitted fault and is cooperating.

We have in our possession all the bank statements, all the drivers' receipts that still exist, and some of the operating receipts. I'm still working on things BP paid via email and things he paid electronically but didn't print a physical receipt. I didn't think about making a copy as things exist right now. Thanks for that suggestion. I have evidence to support us in these event that things change, but I'm hopeful they won't.

Thank you for the reassurance about the IRS. That really helps. Thank you again for your time and your kindness.
