Did you just say what I thought you did? You have no taste too? This is too bizarre. They at Wake Forrest Hospital Taste Center {only a few in the USA} told me after 8 hrs of testing, that I must have had a virus that affected my smell ie no taste. Well, I can too smell! They told me to first try prednisone starting at 60mg a day and decreasing it over 2 weeks to see if it came back. Supposedly this virus affected the nerves in my nose and they are the only nerves that can regrow. If that didn'lt work then take Theophylline for 4-6mths. That's where I drew the line. This drug is used for difficulty breathing, and causes very bad anxiety. I certainly don't need that! That's my predominant symptom-anxiety. If I interpreted your message correctly, please feel free to BabbleMail me. Fondly, Phillipa
