I have suffered with the loss of taste and smell which would last for months. We found a site where a doctor said that he suffered from the same condition for months but when he fell ill and was given predison he regained his sence of taste and smell. He found that kenalog is safer and gives the same results. I was taking allergy shots every week and so no results. I asked my doctor about kenalog and after looking at the data she gave me the shot in my deltoid muscel. In less than 12 hours I was able to taste and smell and have so for three months. I just received another one today. I have not suffered from any allergies at all.
