RJ, I can't remember whether I shared it, but I found mold in my apartment. To make a long story short, on Memorial Day weekend, I got a cold and was home sick for a week. After I went back to work, the "cold" came back and never left. I lost my sense of taste and smell, but I thought it was related to the cold and would eventually come back. It has not. Sometime around the middle of June, my boss suggested that it's probably a sinus-allergy issue. I was baffled because I have never had allergies before in my life. I started taking allergy meds and was feeling better as long as I took them. Then, last week, I found the mold and realized that this is why I have been sick for 3 months.
I just moved back in today, and I'm hoping that I'm able to get my senses back. It is very depressing to cook (and to eat lol) without being able to taste or smell. I have nearly burned my home down several times just because I don't smell something burning (or one time, didn't smell the gas after the flame accidentally went out).
