Unpleasant taste

Yeah I've been racking my brains to see whether I've been doing anything different recently. But I haven't changed any of my medications or supplements. I have tried some new foods recently, but as one-offs - nothing which could logically cause this "every other day" symptom pattern!

 

This is so weird. I would agree with maybe keeping a food diary, maybe even sleep diary, anything even slightly different you’re doing throughout the day.
Are you doing more on the days you feel better for example.

 

... secret virus production in the taste buds ?

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can alter the degree to which we can taste at all, or can alter the flavour of what we taste.

 

I don't know how rapidly our oral microbiome can change/fluctuate. Could that be a factor?

 

I'll add another. Dental problems.

Used to the weirdness that is ME, taste problems and all,.combined with the difficulty of actually access help for anything much I just ignored this when it happened to me.

Turns out I had a cavity developing in the root of a tooth that had root canal treatment years before. As there was no pain it didn't occur to me that itmight be a dental problem.

 

Yes, I seem to have developed this in recent years.

 

Stroke symptom

 

I doubt it in my case.

 

Surely it's much more likely that the entire world smells of burnt toast?

I used to smell overheated metal, exactly the smell that train sets used to make, presumably iron ions coming off the electrified track - this was common for the first few years after onset. I haven't been on the vicinity of a trains set since I was about 10, but I do remember what they smelled like.

These days, burnt toast.

Perfectly normal, people in this universe just like toast a lot, are no good at cooking it, and the smell carries 10 miles into the countryside, that's all.

 

I wonder if there is any common signalling.
