Has anyone lost taste and smell because of hormones?

h Been posting a bit lately as I am freaking out with every new symptom and no one to talk to. doctors no help. Last Saturday i lost my taste and smell after being in the garden all day chopping trees down etc it was like someone flipped a switch after i had eaten my tea and switched it off. panicked thinking i had covid so had test which was negative hot a 2nd one to be sure also negative. another new symptom this week was spotting. i am due on period next week. I have been having lots of symptoms of peri the past 6 months but this one is really worrying me and still not back to normal after a week :( Thanks x

I too have been dealing with new symptoms every day for the last 5 months! I lost my sense of taste for the first time 3 months ago and also thought Covid. I ended up getting it back after like a week so hopefully you will too! It comes and goes but I seem to always have dry mouth and the metallic taste in my mouth so food is not the same. I have lost my appetite and lots of weight.I have not lost my sense of smell but my sinuses have dried up as well as my eyes.

I did get sugar free candy that first week to suck on. I read that since we have a lack of saliva the candy stimulates the saliva and taste buds so I had two bags on me at all times and it did actually help!

Good luck!
