peacheysncream,
I had some damage to the olfactory system (brain, nerve - no one knows) and had distorted sense of smell immediately after the damage and was very depressing. It improved a whole lot after 3 and a half years and still improving. That is one good thing happened for me.

When you said your smell changed but not taste is interesting because our sense of smell is responsible for about 80% of what we taste.
Without our sense of smell, our sense of taste is limited to only five distinct sensations: sweet, salty, sour, bitter and the newly discovered “umami” or savory sensation. All other flavors that we experience come from smell.

Are you sure you can taste all the real flavors and is it gradually changing? Are you on any medications?
