title: By the way, doctor. I lost my sense of taste and smell about four years ago. I like to eat - always have - and I do what I can to keep on enjoying it by paying attention to how the food looks, how it feels in my mouth, and my memories of it. But it isn't the same. Is there anything that can be done? I'm 83 and in good health.
