Okay Racer you asked for it! I lost my sense of taste a year ago. The last taste to go was chocolate. Now before it started to go I never ate chocolate. I was very consciencious about what I ate. It had to be healthy. A lot of yogurt, salad with low fat dressing, chicken, no snack food, a little bit of ice cream each day. But i excercised excessively because i couldn't be in the house alone. But now, I sit before dinner and eat chocolate truffles, chocolate covered raisins, anything to try and taste something. I am never hungry. I don't feel full. They did a full day work=up at Wake Forest Medical Centers Taste and Smell Center and told me i had had a virus that destroyed the neurons in my nose. My only chance to taste again was to take theophylline 400mg for 4-6months. I haven't done it. It seems like witch craft to me. I looked it up on the internet and in Washington DC at their Taste and Smell Center they use it too. I think it's psychological. Years ago when going through a divorce I purged for about 2 weeks and then jogged to relieve the guilt. So I stopped. So, have I created a new eating disorder? You can Babble me. No I'm not nuts. Fondly, Phillipa
