Lost the ability to smell and taste. Both slowly started to come back over a few months, in the end I want to say it took at least 8. It doesn’t seem quite as good as before but it’s mostly back to normal.
As for other long term effects, I seem to have been mostly spared except that whenever I get a viral infection, I usually have terrible joint pain.
Thank you so much! As someone with oral allergy syndrome, I can’t have some spices and it really makes dishes bland. I’m looking forward to trying these!
