I was extremely sensitive to salt at first (post-nuking), which has now returned to normal, but my sweet tastes have NOT returned, and now my taste is even worse because my wrist didn't have taste buds... I can feel the effects of sugar, like in coffee, but not the sugar itself.

I also couldn't take the burn of regular Gatorade but found their G2 version is OK.
