Hi folks, I am really getting down about this one.

44 year old male with Hayfever for 40 years! OK around lunchtime last Tuesday 14th I noticed I had lost most of the taste from food. It had been fine that morning but after lunch, gone.

I have no real taste sensation from my tongue and it feels a little "numb" or more so than previously. I can eat the hottest cury my local place will make me and not even sweat, sweet items tast like childrend playdoh smells (like flour & water) and if I do eat like a mint say? I know it is menthol from the insid of my cheeks my tongue tells me nothing!
I can even drink whisky straight with no buring sensation unlike before as I hoped the aroma would clear my sinuses.

I have reduced sense of smell as well from the hayfever but I still can smell food perfumes and other odour's so I am getting really depressed with this as the one thing I adore is cooking.
I saw my local GP and was given a nasal spray! well whoop de dooh! needless to say it hasn't done anything.

Is this as simple as I might have burned my tongue? will I ever recover my senses?
