Good morning all. Though I'd pop in for a muffin, but it seems that I have suddenly lost my sense of taste.
Started yesterday--I was feeling a little under the weather, so it's likely related. Feeling better today, and my tastebuds are slowly coming back to life, but still aren't 100%.
Never happened before. Very strange experience. Sweet, sugary pop tasted like water. Mustard had no flavour. I'd made some herbal tea with honey to soothe my throat a little, and what was barely sweet to me was overpoweringly sickening to my husband.

I recently got a nasty bug and went on a double dose of Biaxin. I completely lost my sense of smell and taste for a few days, either from the illness or the antibiotic - I'm not sure which. It was a very strange experience and made me realize how much I rely on these things. I still ate chocolate though and, somehow, I still enjoyed it!

Don't ignore the symptoms you are describing. I had a similar experience a few years back, where I first lost some sense of taste, then a numbness on my tongue. eventually my entire right side of my face was numb.
I was diagnosed with a mild case of Bell's Palsy (read Jean Cretian) which is a paralysis caused by the herpes virus that effects a major nerve that runs behind your ear. Fortunatly for me the effects were temporary because I got to it quickly.
If this continues, please go see your doctor.

I may have to send out the doxies on another Mission of Mercy. Last winter, I sent them off on two such missions, with all sorts of soup and TLC to nurse all the sick and wounded here in ehMacLand back to health. I know that there is the California flu and Wellington flu on the go, so I am sending along some of these newly created vaccines as well.

Off topic, (is there a topic?) I just ordered my new 12" iBook today.

Thanks for the advice, MP. I do seem to have more taste sensation today than yesterday--though it's a little hard to judge without some kind of "control" substance--but I will keep an eye on this.
In the meantime, I think I'll call TeleHealth Ontario, just to check.

Max, here in The Shang, there is no specific topic, and thus, no way to get off topic. So, we are free to talk about iBooks (kudos on your purchase), doxies, food, health, doxies, education, religion, doxies, politics, books, doxies, sports, entertainment, doxies, etc, etc.

Um. Can I talk about doxies? Or how about doxies? Did I mention doxies?
