That's right. The day I could NOT smell the Gardenias that had just started blooming, I knew something wasn't right.
But, had no idea what was going on with me. And, I don't really have any idea to this day! If you have ever smelled Gardenias you know what I mean! It's a fragrance that you can not ignore. My plant is loaded with buds and before long the plant will be a shower of white blossoms. I have always liked Gardenias. When I was young and growing up our backyard was bordered on one side with gardenias. I have no idea who planted them. But, I always enjoyed the yearly fragrance!
I think it was in 2020 about this time of year that I totally lost my sense of Smell. I do not know why but thankfully my sense of smell has almost returned to normal. This was happening during the time I was loosing weight. Otherwise, I felt fine. In addition to loosing my sense of smell and appetite I have had a change in the quality of my skin. Never had dry and flakey skin prior. My appetite has returned and I have gained some weight The important thing for me is that I am feeling OK! No doctor that I saw had any assistance or direction for me. I had vaccinations as directed!
Throughout my life I have had a strong immunity. I never had any childhood diseases. Never had the flu and can't remember the last time I had a cold - but it was a long time ago. I kind of wonder if my body was fighting off something! Possibly Covid .
With the recent serge of another Covid variant I take it very seriously to continue to be aware of precautions .
My sincere concern for all of you who have had life altering events as a result of Covid!
Interesting World we live in. Blessings and Encouragement to live life to the fullest.

It is wonderful that your sense of smell has returned, and your overall health is improving. Loss of smell seems to be a very common side effect of this nasty COVID virus. I love gardenias and they grow really well down here.
