It's not all just negative tbh. I suffered from it myself and was an strict pescetarian before as I couldn't stand the taste of any meat besides fish.

Caught Covid and suddenly milk tastes like caramel and I started to enjoy the taste of beef and lamb. Coffee smells weird though, it triggers the same response in my brain as "A dog just pooped in the house two rooms over".

That last one is what annoys me. My sense of smell never relearned to distinguish those two things.

I suffered with it a lot, personally. Pretty much every food tasted different, and most of it was horrible for about 1 year (after the initial ~3 months of 0 smell). I lost a lot of weight because I just couldn't eat anything, everything had a horrible taste that I cannot compare to anything and I was really depressed about it. I started experimenting with vastly different foods that I was used to eating and that worked a bit. After about 1,5 years some tastes slowly started creeping back and it's still in progress. Some foods now just simply taste different to what they used to (but not bad), some still taste bad, and some taste exactly like I remember.

This whole thing was/is really depressing for me personally. I don't have any positives about it.
