Dealing with Parosmia: Seeking Advice

Hi there, I’ve been dealing with parosmia for several months now. My particular case seems to be different from what I’ve read others are experiencing online so I thought I’d try here. No matter what the food, whether it’s a meat, a vegetable, bread, rice, toothpaste or whatever if it has that smell/taste it’s the same smell/taste no matter what the food is. It’s not a smell or taste I’ve ever experienced so I can’t put my finger on it to describe what it is because it doesn’t have a similarity to anything and it’s awful. Besides food, the only other symptom along these lines seem to be soap, whether shampoo, hand soap, or laundry soap. They have a different smell that is sour. If you or anyone you know has experience with this I’d be interested in learning more. Thanks

Ever since cove more than a 18 months ago my taste and smell were affected. Although they both cane back to some degree, there is an underlying odor that I seem to smell constantly. It’s nothing like I’ve ever smelled before and it’s not that pleasant..
