I've lost my smell and a lot of my taste thanks to covid, even after a couple of years it hasn't returned.

The strange thing - it started to come back in early February, very slightly, I could smell things I'd not been able to for a while - like cinnamon, or rose.

Tested positive for covid a few days later. Once covid tested clear using a lateral flow test my smell went.

That is fascinating that your sense of smell came back "due to covid" and then went away again. I'm suffering from long covid as well and the loss of probably 50% of my ability to smell. Taste went away at the same time as smell, but it quickly came back within a week. Not so with my sense of smell.
