I have had things taste really pretty bland all due to one of the medications to cure/ help a UTI. It was after being on the med for a month; not sure what med it was, but I remember chewing through a whole bunch of jalapenos without evea tasteing anythin more than celery.

YES!!!! Back in, well last March..( Feb is when all went nuts!) I couldn't stand the taste or smell of bread!! HELL-O I LOVE bread! It hit so quick as I ordered a Spicy Chicken Sandwich from Wendys and bout BARFED!!! Didn't want anyone in the house toasting toast, bagels, etc.. If joel had eaten certain things I couldn't kiss him without holding my breath..and I LOVE to kiss on my Joel =] Then about the same time..dryer sheets and fabric softener!! YUK!!! And I'm a girl who couldn't think to start a load of laundry without Downy. It lasted, or seemed to..forever! No issues now, never any med changes then..and hope it doesn't come back EVER!!! Hang in there!!

Was just wondering Kaycee. You mentioned you had ms symptoms for 25 yrs before dx. I've had strange symptoms for 30 yrs. now. Seeing a neuro on 5-25. What symptoms were you having during the 25 year period and what eventually helped you to get dianosed?

Hi Flowers911;
when I was 14 I had my first symptom falling.
When I was 17 I had spells when I could not pee.
I was ok until I was 28 When I could not walk. It went away after several months. I had an accident when I was 13 so it was put to that.
I had great amounts of pain & muscle spasms told I had FM (not)
I had nuero symptoms of food not tasting how it should ie. apple tasting like peanut butter. Had more bladder symptoms bowel symptoms
Walking issues
numbness
When I stood /walked back spasms
starting 9 yrs ago when I stood /walked my legs would go to sleep & I would fall after 30 mins that got down to 10 mins so I was house bound

now I had a crappy family doc so nothing was done.
the end of nov 2010 I woke up paralyzed went to the hospital. Admitted they did tests & I was told I had MS.
Then I was told I had SPMS
last summer I was told I could not live at home
it is now affecting my breathing.
So it is good to get it early
if you go to the site
Canadian ms society click on new patient then on symptoms
they have a list of symptoms
if you click on any of the symptoms it will go into detail what those symptoms are.

But I was told that almost anything can be a symptom

A nuero told me that everything you see (coming & going)/ smell/ taste/ hear(coming & going)/ feel is controlled by your nerves & brain since that is affected by MS anything can be linked to MS

If you want more info pm me
take care
Kayce

I am fighting fatigue and have not read everyone's response. I will bookmark it and read later as I am interested in knowing. But... are you on Topamax? I know that changes taste for me. So, you might want to consider what all the others are saying but also keep in mind the medications you are taking.

I am not on meds that would case things to taste like something else completely
apples should not taste like peanut butter
I have been on meds that cause foods or certain foods to taste bad.
I am going to ask my ms doc about it when I see him in a couple of weeks
thanks for the thought
