Have you taken any zinc? It’s my understanding that depletion of zinc during Covid infection causes the loss of smell.

My mom lost her sense of smell years ago due to hypothyroid. Every time I go over to her house I have to throw out something gone bad in her fridge because she can’t smell it and it stinks the thing up.

I take a handful of vitamins each day, including zinc, but I have not thought to have my thyroid checked. I’ll do that my next dr appointment in August,
