Summary
The user lost their sense of taste and smell in June 2021 after COVID. Over four years the senses returned as parosmia and slowly improved, until a couple of weeks before the post they felt like themselves again. That lasted about a week, then a cold took both senses away again. They do smell training to get them back.
