Don't panic, you will be fine
I had exactly the same problem last 2 weeks ago and then I was really disturbed but after a week , I got back my sense of smell and taste.
Do you have catarrh because that can contribute to that too.

I know of three people that complained of this recently, is this a symptom of Covid-19 because this is getting rampant this days.

it is one of the strong symptoms of Covid. Someone I know that tested positive had this symptoms before going for a test

Sugar boy

You smoke too much niggarrr and too much alcohol

Alcohol contains the greatest amount of sugar
More than our so called coke, pepsie, fanta and Sprite
I know you won't understand

Keep yourself hydrated

Update:
That's not Corona,

It's a type of malaria spreading around now, stop taking cold water, always stay in a hot place and buy alot of anti malaria drugs. I promise you before a week you'll get your taste back. Happened to me and 7 of my friends we got scared and thought we gonna die but the chemist assured us it's minor.
Really? I just got discharged from the hospital after I got treated for malaria and sever bacterial infection, only to discover I have lost my sense of smell. First time in my life I am experiencing this. It's scary!

I never knew I had the propensity for my pancreatic gland to mess up and drive my sugar levels haywire.

I've never really paid much attention to sugar sickness or diabetes. Always had that thought of "it can't be me".

So, with the lockdown, we had the house stocked up with all sorts. Biscuits, sodas, syrups of all sorts, alcohol, etc.

It was a take and go with not much of moving around really except the bedroom to the kitchen, bath, and toilet.

After a while, I realized I hadn't stooled in about a week, I was constantly getting dehydrated and gulping water in volume. No matter what I forced my self to eat because my this time I was beginning to lose my sense of taste and smell, I'd still feel empty and hungry from the inside and was fast emanciating.

To compound it all, I had zero malaria symptoms and decided I could get fruits to help with the stopping by the 10th day of not stopping.

I was consuming all sorts of fruits and piling up the sugar, while my wife would make me salt and sugar solution to keep me rehydrated lol. After that, she'd fix me a huge jug of Ribena syrup plus akamu with enough sugar.

Oga I nearly die before she rush me enter car around 12am run go hospital when I begin breathe like radiator wey dey overheat.

Na God save me.
damn! Sorry bro. You're hail and hearty! Amen. Thanks for the info too.

I experienced the same things 3 weeks back.
Its a sign of corona virus- unfortunately our test centers are politicized

I googled up the symptom while i experiened it and results came out that it was the major symptom people checked in uk, france and germany when the virus was ravaging europe. You can google it up.

Nothing to worry about though u will get better with time, use silverbird solution (pour in hot water and inhale) or use nasal spray and prolly in 1wk to 2wks you will gradually regain yr taste n smell.

U go de alright surrely.

For the past two weeks,I have been reading posts of people complaining of loosing their ability to smell or taste. I read roughly 10 per day. What is really happening?
If this is Covid 1-9 birus, then I think the virus is spreading faster than we eat but getting weaker as it spreads.
I once proposed that they should expose as many people as possible to it. As people recover, we decrease it's virulence. After all, we are living with a deadlier Hepatitis, HIV and Malaria which spread without respect for nose masks.

Could you elaborate on the blood sugar level connection?

I've done so you might want to check through on the thread.

Shiiit wasn't funny oh. Literally saw my life flash right before me.

Na so I dey beg doctors to just give me injection even if na the one wey go just make me sleep and not wake up. I was in severe pains. Could neither seat up on the bed nor lay still.

People who follow me on here would have noticed my absence or lack of activity in the last month. I was battling to stay alive and I won the battle.

My bro had it, and cough but we had only cough. Mild one. Everything left after some days. Till today I wonder if it was those chinese doctors.
Here in Abuja, so many complaints of it.
