Just thought I'd put what I'm experiencing, after 4 years, on this thread just to see if anyone has anything similar. I also experience a more hightened sense of smell now, but what is more weird is the putrid sweet taste I have starting first thing in the morning, without having eaten anything. I wake with a dry mouth, brush my teeth, then a sort of post nasal drip starts, which has that horrible taste, and continues 24/7. All doctors (ENTs/gastros) have eliminated everything and blame it on long-term after-radiation effects. It started about 2 years ago and is driving me nuts crazy. Anyone? Thanks.
