Does anybody have knowledge on side effect of Zinc; loss of smell and taste? I know that I cannot afford not taking zinc. Has anybody got treated regarding loss of smell and taste?
I love food and I cannot smell certain things and taste sourness.... and it is getting worse...
Let me know if you have experienced same issue and have fixed it.
Thank you.
Minmyo...I am also on zinc (acetate) i just started 4 months ago when i found out i was pregnant.
this is my first time hearing about this side-effect. i was diag in 04 ..
would you mind giving me more insight on your basic history of zinc and WD (you may message me) i just want to know how long it took
when diag:
how long on zinc: and which zinc
did you take penicillimine?
thanks and good luck. i will also ask my doc about this
A lot of people with WD report losing some smell and taste functionality, regardless of whether they are taking zinc or other treatments. It hasn't happened to me. I don't know of anyone who has found a way to fix it other than following treatment recommendations.
