From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dysgeusia is the distortion or decrease of the sense of taste.
So this is one of the bad side effects that I am having. Although I have been able to eat and I am certainly not having a problem maintaining my weight, my favorite things to eat are not so good anymore.
First, coffee is not so good these days. I can remember fondly just a few months ago when I would have a few cups in the morning and then come home from work and reheat the cold stuff in the pot or pour it over ice and have an ice coffee. Today, I couldn't drink it after a few sips. I think that because I am also taking advil every 4 hours I must be keeping the caffeine headache away. I have been drinking tea quite a lot and I wonder if I will be able to get back to my lovely morning cup of Joe.
Second, almost as beloved, chocolate is tasting bad to me. It might be that the taste is too sweet and my tongue is feeling extra sensitive? I am not sure what the medical reason might be, but I do miss the craving and then the satisfaction when you eat chocolate.
I am keeping up the eating, but it is not as enjoyable as it used to be.
